title: Laterally repositioned "stimulated" osteoperiosteal pedicle grafts in the treatment of denuded roots. A preliminary report.
abstract: In order for successful coverage of denuded roots to be accomplished, correctly applied fundamental biological principles must be considered in the choice and utilization of the surgical modality. In this report some representative clinical cases are presented to indicate favorable results that may be achieved with stimulated osteoperiosteal pedicle flaps. These cases are part of an ongoing clinical and statistical evaluation.
