Gum Grafting
A Gingival Graft is Designed to Solve These Problems
In addition, gum recession often results in root sensitivity to hot and cold foods, as well as, an unsightly appearance of the gum and tooth. When significant, gum recession can predispose to worsening recession and expose the root surface, which is softer than enamel, leading to root caries and root gouging.
A gingival graft is designed to solve these problems. Either, a thin piece of tissue is taken from the roof of the mouth or gently moved over from adjacent areas to provide a stable band of attached gingiva around the tooth. Alternatively, a donor tissue can be used to eliminate the need from obtaining the tissue from the roof of the mouth. The gingival graft may be placed in such a way as to cover the exposed portion of the root. The gingival graft procedure is highly predictable and results in a stable, healthy band of attached tissue around the tooth.
