Subperiosteal Tissue Tacking as a Novel Approach to Recreate the Lost Hard and Soft Tissue Framework: Case Series and Illustrated Clinical Considerations.

As stability is a key determinant of successful regeneration, this paper introduces tack engagement as a novel alternative to conventional suturing techniques, aimed at improving the positioning and fixation of autogenous tissue grafts. Rigid tack engagement, a widely utilized technique in guided bone regeneration (GBR) protocols for securing membranes, offers a stable and time-efficient solution that mitigates the risks of early graft displacement resulting from suturing or delayed volume changes due to physiological healing processes or unintentional patient oral habits. Subperiosteal tissue tacking represents a promising alternative technique for managing small to moderate tissue defects, mitigating various biological and practical obstacles. Within the limitations of this current report, tacks provide a variety of practical benefits for tissue fixation, rendering them particularly useful in staged implant placement procedures. Further research is necessary to comprehensively assess the benefits and potential constraints of this innovative approach.
