چکیده
PURPOSE To assess the shrinkage of Free Gingival Graft (FGG) in horizontal and vertical dimensions and calculate the changes in the surface area of the transplanted tissue in a 3 months period. MATERIALS AND METHODS total of 30 FGG were placed aiming to increase attached gingiva around recession sites. Vertical recessions, horizontal recessions, surface area, plaque index, gingival index, periodontal probing depth and clinical attachment level were assesed at baseline, 1 and 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS Graft shrinkage between baseline and 1 month was more evident than 1 to 3 months in either dimensions. Both horizontal and vertical dimensions were significantly decreased (p<0.001) at 1 and 3 months post operatively. There was no significant change in PI and GI scores postoperatively compared to baseline (p>0.05). CONCLUSION The shrinkage of vertical and horizontal dimensions of the grafts were almost equal unlike the literature. In addition, the different dimensional changes observed in individual level deserve further research.

Vertical and Horizontal Dimensional Evaluation of Sutureless Free Gingival Grafts
Background and Aim: Tissue adhesives can be used as an alternative to conventional sutures in periodontal surgery. The free gingival graft (FGG) is a technique used to increase the zone of keratinized gingiva. The shrinkage of FGGs is a well-known clinical phenomenon. However, to our knowledge, there is no data available regarding the dimensional changes in FGG procedure using non-suturing tech...

Introduction: Mucogingival surgery is performed to correct defects in the morphology, position, and/or amount of gingiva. Such post-operative complications as bleeding, swelling, and pain have often been documented after mucogingival surgery and are associated with discomfort after surgery. The low-intensity laser has been used to promote analgesia. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) not only accel...
