Free Gingival Autograft – A Case Report with 3 years follow-up.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The need for keratinised tissue around a tooth has been established by numerous longitudinal clinical studies. Increasing the width of keratinised mucosa may benefit the periodontal tissue health, including reduced plaque accumulation and mucosal inflammation. The free gingival autograft (FGG) is one of the most common and predictable method for correction of mucogingival defects. Although there are a few drawbacks associated with the procedure, it is still the first line of treatment for gingival augmentation. In this case report, the FGG technique was performed to increase the keratinised tissue and correct the shallow vestibular depth. The patient was followed up for 3 years after the surgical procedure to determine the long term changes that occur in the graft tissue.
