The IETS protocol consists of four steps and four instruments – LM™ Inicia, LM™ Eleva, LM™ Tunella and LM™ Papilla Solleva – for minimally invasive gingival recession treatment. Named according to the instruments used in the four steps, the IETS protocol aims to improve the precision and outcomes of periodontal surgeries. It enhances microsurgery techniques, focusing on patient care and the efficiency of minimally invasive procedures with fewer post-operative challenges.
