Gum Transplant




Case #218 : Gingival transplant
Courtesy : Dr. Nico Kamosi
History of present complaints (HPC): Mucogingival deformity
Clinical presentation upper dentition: Moderate periodontal biotype, generalised gingival recession, excessive exposed root surfaces;
Diagnosis: Gingival Recession Type 1/2; Recession depth: 3mm-5mm; Gingival thickness: 1mm; keratinized tissue width: 1mm-4mm; Cementoenamel junction: Class A (detectable CEJ); Root surface concavity: Class + (presence of cervical step: > 0.5 mm).
Specialist Periodontal treatment: Pre-orthodontic Mucogingival periodontal plastic surgery; Bilaminar enveloped connective tissue transplant (CTG) technique was performed to increase the thickness and width of the attached keratinized gingiva (KT), and to obtain root coverage (Langer & Langer 85, Raetzke 85).
