Is Periacryl the best way to secure graft material around implants and extraction sockets?
In this video, Dr. Robert Stanley revisits a technique many clinicians have seen on this channel—using Periacryl (a medical-grade tissue adhesive) to stabilize immediate gap grafting. While it was once a go-to approach, Dr. Rob explains why his protocol has evolved over time.
As dentistry advances, so should our techniques. What worked well in the past isn’t always the best option with new research, better materials, and more clinical experience. Dr. Stanley breaks down when Periacryl made sense, where it may fall short, and why he no longer uses it routinely in his current implant workflows.
This is an important conversation about growth in clinical practice—because great clinicians don’t just learn… they adapt.
If you’ve seen our older surgical videos, this one provides critical context on how and why our approach has changed.
