What is Dental Tissue Grafting?
Dental tissue grafting, also known as gum grafting, is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing gum recession caused by gum disease or other factors such as aggressive tooth brushing and genetic predisposition.
During this procedure, a periodontist takes a small amount of soft tissue (typically harvested from the patient's palatal tissues or obtained from a tissue bank) and grafts it to the affected area. This new tissue is positioned around the patient's exposed tooth root, thus covering it and reinstating the natural gum line.
Dental tissue grafting not only prevents further gum recession but can also lower the risk of additional tooth loss and bone deterioration.
Types of Dental Tissue Grafts
At Fort Collins Periodontics and Dental Implants, our specialists perform three main types of dental tissue grafts, tailored to the specific needs of our patients:
- Connective Tissue Graft (CTG): This is the most common type of gum graft. In this procedure, a small flap is cut into the roof of the patient's mouth to expose the subepithelial connective tissue. This tissue is then removed and placed onto the recipient site, covering the exposed tooth root.
- Free Gingival Graft (FGG): This type of graft involves removing a layer of tissue from the palate or roof of the mouth and placing it directly on the area with receding gums.
- Pedicle Graft: This procedure is usually performed on patients who have adequate gum tissue surrounding the affected tooth. Instead of taking tissue from the palate, the gum flap's neighboring gum is partially cut and moved upwards or downwards to cover the exposed tooth root, keeping it attached to its blood supply to expedite healing.
