Gingival augmentation of the edentulous site before implant placement using a transposed pedicled gingivectomy tissue: a novel surgical case report.

Abstract

Keratinized gingiva around teeth, around edentulous sites or implants is important as it improves aesthetics, helps to maintain good oral hygiene around prosthesis, and prevents post-operative implant exposure. The amount of keratinized gingiva around teeth/prostheses is a crucial parameter that should be considered before placing the crowns and bridges around implants or edentulous teeth. The presence of adequate keratinized tissue around implants/prostheses is vital for good peri-implant health and improves the overall prognosis of the implant treatment. Augmentation of the attached gingiva is done using a free gingival graft (FGG) or alloderm. However, procurement of FGG is surgically demanding for general dentists as it technically demanding to procure the graft from the palate. Moreover, it creates a second surgical site with an increased risk of post-operative discomfort and bleeding. To overcome these limitations, this case report presents a novel non-invasive simple, surgical technique to augment keratinized tissue using partially excised pedicled gingivectomy tissue for augmentation of attached gingiva before prosthetic rehabilitation with implants.
