Connective-Tissue Gum Grafting
Connective tissue grafting is a periodontal surgical procedure used to treat gum recession and improve soft tissue around teeth or dental implants. During the procedure, a small piece of connective tissue—usually taken from the patient’s palate—is placed beneath the existing gum tissue in the area of recession. This helps cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, enhance aesthetics, and increase the thickness of the gum for long-term stability and protection against further recession.
Allograft tissue grafting is a procedure that uses donor tissue—typically processed and sterilized human dermal or connective tissue—to rebuild or augment the gum tissue around teeth or implants. Unlike traditional grafts taken from the patient’s palate, allografts eliminate the need for a second surgical site, reducing discomfort and healing time. The donor tissue acts as a scaffold that integrates with the patient’s own cells, promoting natural tissue regeneration and improved gum thickness and coverage.
