Mucogingival Surgery with Free Gingival Autograft for Augmentation of Attached Gingiva: a Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
The insufficient or absent attached gingiva increases the risk of development of gingival recessions. The treatment of the mucogingival problems is one of the main objectives of the periodontal therapy. Mucogingival therapy is a broader term describing non-surgical and surgical treatment procedures for the correction of defects in morphology, position, and/or amount of soft tissue and underlying bone. Though there are many surgical techniques advocated for augmentation of width of attached gingiva, the free gingival autograft is a reliable mucogingival surgical procedure for increasing the zone of attached gingiva at the buccal or lingual aspect of a single tooth, or groups of teeth, or for covering areas of gingival recession. This article highlights a case reportof a 30-years old woman with gingival recession of 6 mm on #31 and #41 (class III according to Miller classification) in which free gingival autograft was used for the augmentation of width of attached gingiva.

Gingival recession is defined as “Displacement of soft tissue margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction”. Gingival recessions require treatment for many reasons – impaired aesthetic appearance, root sensitivity, cervical caries or abrasion. Presence of gingival recession and gingival inflammation in areas with a lack or narrow band of attached gingiva is identified as a mucogingival problem....

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...

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 disco...

Gingival recession is displacement of the soft tissue margin apically leading to root surface exposure. Tooth malpositions, high muscle attachment, frenal pull have been associated with gingival tissue recession. Occlusal trauma is defined as injury resulting in tissue changes within the attachment apparatus as a result of occlusal forces. Trauma from occlusion may cause a shift in tooth positi...
