Clinical Application
The Dental Tunneling Knife is specifically engineered for use in periodontal plastic surgery, where precise tissue management is critical. The angled tip allows the clinician to navigate subperiosteal or supraperiosteal planes with accuracy, making it well-suited for connective tissue graft procedures, root coverage techniques, and other minimally invasive soft tissue surgeries.
The 2.5 mm blade width of this Dental Tunneling Knife insert offers a balance between reach and control, enabling careful dissection without compromising adjacent tissues. The Fig. 1 designation refers to the specific blade geometry, which is commonly selected for its versatility in anterior and posterior sites.
