1. The combined procedure can be performed to handle the two very common periodontal problems (bone defect, high frenum, and/or high muscle insertion) when present in the same area. 2. Healing was uneventful, since only four postoperatory complications were observed in 40 surgeries performed, and none of these complications was in humans. 3.
