Fascial spaces of the head and neck Fascial spaces of the head and neck Fascial spaces (also termed fascial tissue spaces or tissue spaces) are potential spaces that exist between the fasciae and underlying organs and other tissues. In health, these spaces do not exist; they are only created by pathology, e.g. the spread of pus or cellulitis in an infection. The fascial spaces can also be opened during the dissection of a cadaver. The fascial spaces are different from the fasciae themselves, which are bands of connective tissue that surround structures, e.g. muscles. The opening of fascial spaces may be facilitated by pathogenic bacterial release of
Subepithelial connective tissue graft various ways in which to carry out this procedure, all share a common sequence of steps: The donor site might be sutured closed either before or after securing the donor tissue to the recipient site Subepithelial connective tissue graft In dentistry, the subepithelial connective tissue graft (SECT graft, and sometimes referred to simply as a "connective tissue (CT) graft") is an oral and maxillofacial surgical procedure first described by Alan Edel in 1974. Currently, it is generally used to obtain root coverage following gingival recession, which was a later development by Burt Langer in the early 1980s. Similar to the
