9. Step 1: Prepare the recipient site
Prepare a firm connective tissue bed to receive the graft. The
recipient site can be prepared by incising at the existing
mucogingival junction with a â 15 blade to the desired depth.
Step 2: Obtaining graft from the donor site: transferring a piece
of keratinized gingiva approximately the size of the recipient site
Palate is (a partial thickness graft usual site from which donor
tissue is removed the is used). The ideal thickness is 1 -1.5mm.
Step 3: Transfer and immobilize the graft: position the graft and
adapt it firmly to the recipient site.
Step4: Protect the donor site: with a periodontal pack for a week
1. Free Gingival Autografts
10. Incision is done by # 15 blade at MGJ Blending incision on both sides(intacted periosteum)
Donor site: palatal strip(no suture)
K.epitheluim+thin layer of underlying CT(1-1.5mm)
Placement of free gingival autograft
11. Use of free gingival graft from the palate to increase the
attached gingiva.
12. Healing of the autograft
⢠Success of graft depends on survival of the CT .
⢠The 1st day graft becomes edematous & undergo
degeneration & necrosis in some areas.
⢠Revascularization of the graft starts after 2-3 days.
⢠Recipient bed Capillaries proliferate to graft and
form new capillaries
⢠Thin epithelial layer formed on 4th day
If too thinâŚâŚâŚâŚnecrosis of graft & exposure of recipient site.
If too thickâŚâŚâŚâŚdeeper wound in palate that may injury major palatal
arteries.
13. 2-Free Connective tissue autograft
Divergent vertical incision, Split flap
Transfer graft to recipient site +suturing
Obtain CT graft from palate then suturing
preoperative
postoperative
CT autograft
14. Advantages
1- Very predictable .
2- Smaller donor site (than FGG).
3- CT will carry the genetic message for overlaying epithelium to
become keratinized.
4- Donor site will heal by 1st intension.
5-Better esthetics and color (than FGG).
Disadvantages
1- Need 2 surgical sites.
2- Technique sensitivity.
Contraindications
1- All exposed dentin (no cementum).
2- Abfraction.
3- Tissue at or near CEJ.
4- Gingival hyperplasia.
15. 3-Apically positioned flap
⢠Adequate vestibule must be present to allow apical
displacement of the flap.
It Increases width of Keratinized gingiva
butnot
increasing vestibule depth.
16. ⢠An internal bevel incision is done< 1mm from crest of gingiva &
directed to crest of bone.
⢠Crevicular incisions and elevation of flap are done.
⢠Vertical incision is done extending beyond the mucogingival
junction.
⢠Full thickness flap is elevated by elevator.
⢠Split thickness flap is elevated using sharp dissection with blade.
⢠SRP and debridement if required.
⢠Place the flap apically and sling suture is done in case of full
thickness while direct loops is done in the partial thickness flap.
⢠A dry foil is placed over the flap before covering it with pack
17. The edge of the flap may be located in
3 positions in relation to the bone
Slightly coronal to the crest of the bone
⢠Preserve the attachment of supracrestal fibers.
⢠Give thick gingival margins.
At the level of the crest
⢠Satisfactory gingival contour .
2mm short of the crest
⢠Produce most desirable , firm tapered gingival margin.
18. Internal bevel incision Horizontal incision Sutured apically postoperative
A horizontal beveled incision is done by blade 0.5mm coronal to MGJ
into attached gingiva.
Modified apically repositioned flap
20. Marginal Tissue
Recession
Etiology
ď Tooth brushing
trauma.
ď Periodontal diseases
ď Tooth malposition.
ď Bone dehiscence.
ď High muscle attachment and frenal pull.
ď Orthodontic tooth movement through a thin buccal
osseous plate.
21. Diagnosis & prognosis
⢠Class I & II : good-excellent
⢠Class III : Partial coverage
⢠Class V : Poor prognosis
22. Which 1 is more esthetic??
1- FGG & 2- CTG
FGG(more whitish in color)
CT autograft
More esthetic
23. 2- Pedicle autografts
It is a soft tissue graft that is not completely detached from one site and
transferred to another.
According to direction of flap migration
Rotational flap
âFlap rotated or displaced laterally
Laterally positioned flap
Double papillae flap
Trans positional flap
Advanced flap
-Flap placed with out rotation or lateral migration
Coronally positioned flap
Semilunar flap
24. Lateral (horizontal )positioned flap
Donor site: adequate
vestibule & AG
Slide flap laterally to adj. tooth without any tension postoperative
Advantages
⢠One surgical site (no donor tissue) .
⢠It offers the best blood supply to the donor tissue because it
maintains a connection between the donor tissue and the
origin of the graft .
⢠Postoperative color is in harmony with surrounding tissue .
25.
26. Remember
The periodontium of the donor site should have
satisfactory width of attached gingiva & minimal
loss of bone without dehiscence or fenestration.
A partial thickness flap is preferable because it
offers the advantage of rapid healing at the donor
site and reduces risk of loss of facial bone height.
27. Coronally positioned flap
Preoperative
Split thickness flap
2 diverging vertical incisions beyond MGJ Coronallly sutured
Split technique
2 diverging vertical incisions beyond MGJ
Return flap coronal to the postion
The purpose âis to create a split thickness flap in the area apical to the denuded root
and position it coronally to cover the root.
Results are unfavorable because of insufficient keratinized gingiva apical the recession.
It needs keratinized gingiva ⼠3mm.
28. Semilunar pedicle
Semilunar incision following the curvature of receded gingival margin
It may need to reach alveolar mucosa if attached gingiva is narrow.
Split thickness dissection coronally from
incision+ connect it to an intrasulsular
incision.
Flaps collapse covering recession
SRP should be done
29. Apical semilunar incision
Intrasulular incision
Coronally advanced flap
Adv. Of coronally advanced flap:
⢠Simple and can be done for more than one tooth.
⢠One surgical site.
Indications:
⢠2-3 mm recession.
⢠Thick gingival biotype.
⢠Maxillary teeth, y???because of the gravity direction.
Pre-operative
Post-operative
30. ⢠Indicated for larger & multiple defects.
⢠Take a CT from palate flap (donor site). Donor site
heals with 1ry intention + more esthetic results.
⢠The graft is sandwiched between the split flap.
3- Subepithelial connective tissue graft
31. Vertical incisions extend beyond MGJ(split thickness)
CT graft cover denuded root
SRP & Root conditioning should be done
Flap sutured over the graft Postoperative
33. ⢠Acellular dermal matrix is a prepared biocompatible graft
that acts as a biologic regenerative matrix or scaffold for
the ingrowth of undifferentiated mesenchymal and
endothelial cells.
⢠Studies reported that â it is clinically effective and highly
predictable and compares favorably with subepithelial
connective tissue graft.
⢠Ability to cover an unlimited number of sites without the
need for a second surgical site â significant advantage.
34. 4-Guided tissue regeneration(GTR)
Using resorbable membrane
-GTR is used to reconstruction of periodontium apparatus
along with coverage of denuded root.
-FGG & Subepithelial CT graft are much better.
35. 5-Pouch & tunnel technique
(coronally advanced tunnel tech)
Advantages
⢠To decrease incisions & reflection.
⢠To provide good blood supply.
⢠Allow intimate contact of donor tissue to the recipient site (stability).
⢠Excellent esthetics.
⢠Thickening of gingiva.
Disadvantage
⢠Requires 2 surgical sites (if using autograft).
⢠Technique sensitive.
36. Steps
⢠Vertical and Intrasulcular incision.
⢠Dissect the connective tissues beyond MGJ &
papilla are kept intact.
⢠Mattress suture placed at end of graft to guide
graft through sulcus.
⢠No dressing , only daily CHX+ antibiotics.
Intact papillae
39. Factors that affect Plastic surgery
outcome
1- Irregularities of teeth
-It affects location of gingival margin, width & alveolar bone
height and thickness.
-Malposed tooth with thin plate of boneâ results root
exposure.
2- MGJ
AnteriorâŚâŚ3mm apical to radicular bone
5mm interdentally
In periodontal disease, bone margin may locate at or beyond
the MGJ.
40.
41. Problems Associated with Shallow Vestibule:
ďś Gingival Recession reduces the vestibular
depth.
ďś Adequate vestibular depth is necessary for
proper brushing (OH) & retention of prostheses.
It can be done by free autogenous autograft tech.
Vestibule deepening surgery
Using autograft to increase
depth of vestibule
Inadequate vestibule
43. Closed submucosal vestibuloplasty
⢠Vertical incision extends from MGJ to labial mucosa, then deepened to reach
periosteum.
⢠Blunt dissection and tunnels are done.
⢠A wedge shape strip of connective tissue remains between submucosal tunnel and
subperiosteal tunnel. Then, this wedged shaped tissue is excised.
⢠Stent is placed to retain the mucosa in the position. Then, removed after 1 week.
Open Submucosal Vestibuloplasty
⢠A horizontal incision through mucosa at the MGJ is done.
⢠Mucosa is dissected from submucosa towards the lip.
⢠Sutures are placed to fix the periosteum deep in the vestibule.
⢠The free margins of the flap are returned to their original position and
sutured.
1-Mucosal advancement vestibuloplasty
44. Kazanjianâs Technique
⢠Incision is made in labial mucosa.
⢠The labial and vestibular mucosa is reflected .
⢠Vestibule is deepened to the desired depth by supraperiosteal stripping.
⢠Mucosal flap is turned down from its attachment on alveolar ridge and placed
against periosteum. Then, sutured.
⢠The labial tissues is healed by secondary epithelization.
⢠A stent is placed for 1 week to maintain depth of the vestibule.
⢠Labial incision is made and mucosal flap is raised from labial surface.
⢠Supraperiosteal dissection is done,Periosteum is incised on the crest of alveolar
ridge and sutured to the denuded labial submucosal surface.
⢠Mucosal flap is sutured over the denuded bone to inferior attachment of
periosteum.
⢠This is called transpositional flap because labial & periosteal flaps are
interchanged to line the opposing surface.
Lipswithch vestibuloplasty
2- re-epithelialization vestibuloplasty
45.
46. Clarkâs technique
⢠Horizontal incision is done on alveolar ridge just buccal to crest of the
ridge .
⢠A supraperiosteal dissection is done, the lip mucosa is undermined
until the vermillion border.
⢠The free margin of the mucosal flap is sutured to depth of newly
created vestibule.
⢠The osseous side left with raw periosteal surface to granulate and
epithelialize secondarily.
⢠This technique has high liability of relapse as the lip musculature tot
alveolar bone shift towards the alveolar crest, obliterating the sulcus.
50. Problems Associated with Aberrant
Frenum:
When the frenum invades on the GM
1-Interferes with plaque removal.
2-Its tension â open the gingival sulcus & pull GM away from tooth
âCause esthetic problem
Rx: Surgical removal of the frenum(frenectomy/frenotomy).
51. Frenectomy â is the complete removal of the frenum,
including its attachment to the underlying bone
(required in the correction of abnormal diastema
between the maxillary central incisors).
Frenotomyâ is the relocation of frenum, usually in a
more apical position.
52. Superior & inferior margins are grasped by
curved mosquito hemostats
Excision of frenum from posterior surface of L.
hemostat until U. hemostat
Remove the hyperplastic tissues Undermining the mucosa from underlying tissues
Suturing in the middle of wound to facilitate
subsequent suturing
53.
54. Esthetic Surgical Therapy
-Root coverage
-Regeneration of lost or reduced papillae ,Black triangle
(black hole)
-Gummy smile (excessive gingival display)
Rx: Not predictable
62. ⢠The future of periodontal plastic surgery will encompass
the use of tissue-engineered products at the recipient
site to reduce donor site morbidity.
⢠Results of numerous experimental and clinical studies
support the clinician's use of a minimally invasive
approach to periodontal plastic surgery.
⢠Ex.Alloderm , biological mediators.
63. ⢠Alloderm is sutured in a pouch with coronally
displaced flap
64. Use of enamel matrix derivates with
coronally displaced flap to treat
recession
65. 3 mm recession was treated by human platelet derived
growth factor +beta tricalcium phosphate + collagen
wound dressing with coronally displaced flap (GTR).
66. Criteria for selection of technique
1- Surgical site : free from plaque/calculus & no inflammation(should be firm).
2-Adequate blood supply
⢠Apical Gingival augmentation > coronal Gingival augmentation
⢠Pedicle graft(the best) >free autograft.
3- Anatomy of recipitent and donor site
⢠FGG & CTG âcreate vestibular depth +widening AG (Other techniques need
adequate vestibule).
⢠Donor site should be thick gingival biotype.
4- Stability of graft
5- Minimal trauma
⢠Poor incision, perforation, tearing or excessive sutureââcause tissue necrosis.
⢠Proper instruments selection+ Sharp blades+ smaller diameter needles+
resorbable monofilament sutures are needed.
Esthetic surgery :coverage of denuded root- widening AG
Grafting before ortho. Treatment to patient with thin periodontuim lead to less traumatic and highly predictable results
1- AG will be too fragile to be able to withstand the physiologic forces of mastications and OH
2- easily for brush replacement and avoid trauma to alveolar mucosa
2- speed of inflammmation will be more rapid than keratinzed tissue
3- k. gingiva prevent apical migration of JE(decrese liability of root exposure and recession)
5- wider zone of AG is needed for subgingival restoration to avoid inflammmation
6- inadequate AG may cause dehiscence during ortho tratmnet
7- protects against pull action of musles of mastication
4-
Palate is healed by 2ry closure(2ry intension)
The contraction of graft depend on depth of recipient site to ms of attahment(deeper recipient site,greater tendy of ms to elevate graft and reduce decrease final width of AG
We use Tin Foil template for measuring the graft length
If too thinâŚâŚâŚâŚnecrosis âŚ.exposure of recipient site
If too thickâŚâŚâŚâŚperipheral layer will jeopardized bec of excessive tissue that separate it from new circulation and create deeper wound in palate that may yinjury major palatal arteries.

The Contact areas are splinted using composite (temporary )to suspend the sutures
Vertical and Intrasulcular incision
Dissect the CT beyond MGJ & papilla are kept intact
Mattress suture placed at end of graft to guide graft through sulcus.
No dressing , only daily CHX+ antibiotics
Vestibular depth is measured from GM to depth of vestibule.space is needed for placement to tooth brush.
If adequate keratinized, attached gingiva is present coronal to the frenum, it may not be necessary to remove the frenum.
Tension of frenum may pull GM away from tooth
Causes of black triangle: interproximal bone loss
Extraction and loss of papillae
ANG/ANUP
A: preoperative: loss of interdental papillae + facial gingival recession class iv
B: CT graft from tuberosity +bone from tuberosity
C: bone graft is fixed on interproximal area by Ti screw
J: coronally positioned flap
K: after healing 3 months
Final: after restoration placement
Denuded root is without blood supply
Least amount of sutures and maxuim stability is needed
