Summary

Free gingival graft is a mucogingival surgical technique applied to increase keratinized gingival width and reduce gingival recession. Free gingival graft is one of the most widely used approaches in root closure treatments and in increasing the height of the keratinized gingiva. Evaluation of the effect of the amount of creeping attachment on the root surface caused by the free gingival grafts placed coronally and apical to the mucogingival line on the gingival recession in the mandibular anterior region with keratinized gingival deficiency with gingival recession. Forty patients with gingival recession and insufficient keratinized gingival height will be randomly divided into 2 main groups as free gingival grafts to be placed coronal and apical to the gingival recession.

Conditions

  • Gingival Recession
  • Lack of Keratinized Gingiva

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Free gingival graft placed apically

For free gingival graft operation, the recipient area will be prepared with a half-thickness flap. A graft with a thickness of approximately 1.5 mm and a width and height of the recipient bed will be obtained from the palatal region in accordance with the recipient bed, and it will be sutured by placing it in the apical region of the gingival recession according to the randomly selected positioning technique.
