Soft tissue graft - Microsurgical procedure

Gingival graft is a micro surgical procedure where defect of the soft tissues in aesthetic zone is covered up by transplanting a piece of soft tissue (connective tissue, or internal layer of gingiva).

Usually this type of procedure is required with bone augmentation and implant placement or to cover up defect causes by periodontal disease or trauma.

It is a delicate procedure, where thin sutures close the wound, and are removed from 7 do 14 days, depending on the case.

Maturing of the transplant will last approximately 4 months, which is why we prefer while placing the implant doing the transplants, so the time of healing is reduced.
