Soft Tissue Graft

Soft Tissue Graft

Soft tissue grafting is a procedure that intends to recreate esthetics of the gum line and prevent further damage of the gums. This procedure is used to cover the roots or to develop the gum tissue which is absent in patients with an excessive gingival recession.

The main reason for gum recession is exposed roots. Your gums may have receded for a variety of reasons. These include Aggressive brushing, grinding your teeth or inflammation from plague along the gum line may contribute to this condition.

Before soft tissue graft treatment, our periodontist will identify the key factors contributing to the recession. Once these contributing factors are controlled, a soft tissue graft procedure will be done to repair the defect and prevent additional recession.

Enhance your smile at Hyderabad Smiles by covering one or more of the roots that make your teeth appear too long or cover the exposed roots that are sensitive to cold food or liquids.

During this procedure gum tissue is taken from your palate (roof of your mouth). Our Periodontist will remove this soft tissue carefully to avoid post-operative discomfort. Sometimes tissue is obtained from a “tissue bank.” This tissue is treated to eliminate the risk of disease transmission or graft rejection. This tissue is secured over the exposed root and underneath the gum tissue in the area of the recession by placing the graft within a “Pita Pocket-like flap. By then repositioning the gum tissue (“Pita Pocket'') over the exposed root and grafted tissue, the graft is further nourished and the root may be covered.

There are commonly three types of soft tissue grafting - Free gingival graft, connective tissue graft, pedicle graft.
