The purpose of this article is to present a case demonstrating the treatment of epulis fissuratum due to a poorly adapted prosthesis using a single surgical procedure involving conventional excision and free gingival graft. We, herein, present a case involving a 58-year-old patient with epulis fissuratum. Treatment of this case was essential due to the masticatory problems. This technique can be effective to deepen the height of the residual alveolar ridge and to increase the amount of keratinized tissue.

Introduction: Down Syndrome (DS) patients have increased susceptibility to the development of periodontal diseases by the occurrence of several factors, such as inadequate hygiene, mouth breathing, dental morphology, leukocyte reduction and increased inflammatory mediators. Objective: This study aimed to review the literature on the main aspects of DS and present a clinical case of a DS patient treated with basic periodontal therapy and free gingival graft surgery. Case report: DS patient, leucoderma, aged 26 years showed gingival recession and little amount of keratinized tissue in the area of teeth #31 and #41. After surgery, there was an increase in the keratinized tissue band. Conclusion: The free gingival graft surgery performed in DS patients was effective, as the increase of keratinized tissue band occurred.

Insufficiently keratinized tissue can be increased surgically by free gingival grafting. The presence or reconstruction of keratinized mucosa around the implant can facilitate restorative procedure and allow the maintenance of an oral hygiene routine without irritation or discomfort to the patient. The aim of this clinical case report is to describe an oral rehabilitation procedure of an edentulous patient with absence of keratinized mucosa in the interforaminal area, using a free gingival graft associated with a mandibular fixed implant-supported prosthesis. The treatment included the manufacturing of a maxillary complete denture and a mandibular fixed implant-supported prosthesis followed by a free gingival graft to increase the width of the mandibular keratinized mucosa. Free gingival graft was obtained from the palate and grafted on the buccal side of interforaminal area. The follow-up of 02 and 12 months after mucogingival surgery showed that the free gingival graft promoted peri-implant health, hygiene, and patient comfort.Clinical Significance. The free gingival graft is an effective treatment in increasing the width of mandibular keratinized mucosa on the buccal side of the interforaminal area and provided an improvement in maintaining the health of peri-implant tissues which allows for better oral hygiene.

AbstractAmong the available techniques for gingival recession treatment, the main surgical technique for gain of keratinized tissue is the free gingival graft. This procedure is also indicated for vestibule extension and frenulum removal. The technique consists of the epithelial and connective tissues removal from a donor site and its repositioning on to a recipient site, being an effective primary stability mandatory for the healing process. The aim of this study was to describe a case report of a 35-year-old male, who reported a postoperative complication in donor area, after a free gingival graft which occurred 07 days later. This situation occurred after patient reported having rinsed his mouth with hot water during shower. Due to that, a 1mm thick acetate tray was readymade for the donor site comfort and protection. Among the demands presented in this case, free gingival graft was the primary surgical choice to increase keratinized tissue. Despite the patient’s morbidity, due to the two surgical sites, the use of the acetate tray showed great reduction in patient’s discomfort and trauma. This approach proved to be successful since the patient described increase in self-esteem and oral hygiene facilitation which in combination contributed to satisfactory final results.

ResumoEntre as técnicas disponíveis para o tratamento da recessão gengival, a principal técnica cirúrgica para ganho de tecido queratinizado é o enxerto gengival livre. Este procedimento também é indicado para extensão do vestíbulo e remoção do frênulo. A técnica consiste na remoção de tecidos epiteliais e conectivos de um local doador e seu reposicionamento no local receptor, sendo necessária uma estabilidade primária eficaz para o processo de cicatrização. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever um relato de caso de um homem de 35 anos, que relatou uma complicação pós-operatória na área doadora, 07 dias após a realização de um enxerto gengival livre. Essa situação ocorreu depois que o paciente relatou ter enxaguado a boca com água quente durante o banho. Devido a isso, uma placa de acetato de 1 mm de espessura foi preparada para conforto e proteção do local doador. Entre as demandas apresentadas neste caso, o enxerto gengival livre foi a principal opção cirúrgica para aumentar o tecido queratinizado. Apesar da morbidade do paciente, devido aos dois locais cirúrgicos, o uso da placa de acetato demonstrou grande redução no desconforto e trauma do paciente. Essa abordagem mostrou-se bem-sucedida, uma vez que o paciente descreveu aumento da autoestima e facilitação da higiene bucal, o que em conjunto contribuiu para resultados finais satisfatórios.
