Gingival Graft

The gingival graft is a part of soft tissue (gum) that we insert in places of the mouth where there is need, e.g. in the exposed surface of a root due to gum subsidence, or in the observed thinning of gum due to thickness loss of the soft tissue or the underlying bone. Even after the surgical implants are placed, we also put gingival graft to enforce the area in order to achieve longer implant stay but also better aesthetic results in prosthodontic restorations.
