Electrocautery assisted harvesting of free gingival graft to increase the width of attached gingiva - an uncommon case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Procuring a free gingival autograft for the purpose of gingival augmentation has been advocated in areas of inadequate width of attached gingiva that result in gingival recession and/or accumulation of local factors. As obtaining the graft from the palatal donor site with conventional scalpel techniques can result in problems such as prolonged bleeding, increased surgical time and patient discomfort, alternative methods have been advocated to procure such grafts using lasers and electrocautery. This case report elaborates, a free gingival graft harvested for the purpose of increasing the width of attached gingiva using electrocautery principles. The parameters assessed included the extent of patient reported discomfort at the donor site and clinical gain of keratinized and attached gingival width.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: An important goal of periodontal plastic surgery is the creation of attached gingiva around the teeth. In this study, the aims were to culture gingival fibroblasts in a biodegradable scaffold and measure the width of attached gingiva after the clinical procedure.METHODS: This study was carried out on 4 patients (8 sites), with inadequate attached gingiva next to at least two...
متن کاملSoft Tissue Augmentation Using Free Mucosal Graft
Gingival augmentation procedures are indicated primarily to increase an insufficient amount of gingiva and sometimes to halt the progression of gingival recession. Inadequate or absence of attached gingival is considered detrimental to periodontal health by many researchers. Individuals with less than optimal oral hygiene practice can be helped by increasing the width of attached gingiva and ve...

متن کاملTwo-step Surgical Procedure for Root Coverage (free Gingival Graft and Coronally Positioned Flap)
Background: Gingival recessions require treatment for many reasons – impaired aesthetic appearance, root sensitivity, cervical caries or abrasion. Two surgical techniques have been described that use free gingival graft for root coverage. The technique proposed by Bernimoullin et al. involves two surgical steps. The first step consists of creating attached gingiva by means of free gingival graf...

Objectives: Attached gingival width (AGW) is an important marker for diagnosis of periodontal disease and normal gingival sulcus depth (GSD) is a sign of healthy periodontium. The aim of this study was to determine the AGW and GSD in3-15 year-olds with three dentition systems in Isfahan in 2001. Methods: A total of 360 students (120 students in each system) eligible for this cross sectional...
