Abstract Augmentation of the partially edentulous ridge can significantly improve the final prosthodontic rehabilitation. For enhancing soft tissue contours in the anterior region, the subepithelial connective tissue graft is the treatment of choice. The combination of connective tissue grafts with alloplastic bone graft material can optimize the ridge augmentation and reduce post extraction defects. The aim of this clinical report is to describe the use of subepithelial connective tissue in conjunction with an alloplastic bone graft for augmentation of a maxillary anterior ridge prior to prosthetic rehabilitation.

The Gingival recession is considered a multi-factorial. The etiology may be an anatomically vulnerable area, faulty tooth brushing, high frenum attachment. In cases where there is progressive recession, aesthetics concern or increasing dentinal hypersensitivity, we can do recession coverage. Depending upon the presence or absence of adequate keratinized tissue we can choose the technique. In case of adequate width of keratinized tissue, usually we can do displaced flap and in case where there is inadequate width, we can do gingival grafting.

Subepithelial gingival connective tissue grafts are a common surgical procedure performed in periodontal and implant surgery. This versatile procedure has many indications including tooth root coverage, thickening of gingiva, and improvement of the quality of the crestal gingiva. Several techniques have been described for graft harvest from the palate. Reported complications from these techniques include pain, inflammation, bleeding, flap necrosis, and infection in the donor site. We report a previously unpublished complication following subepithelial gingival connective tissue graft from the palate: pseudoaneurysm of the greater palatine vessel.

This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of xenogeneic collagen matrices (XCMs) and acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in comparison to connective tissue grafts (CTGs) for the augmentation of oral mucosa around dental implants. MEDLINE and the Web of Science were searched for clinical studies that compared substitute materials for the augmentation of oral mucosa to the subepithelial connective tissue graft around dental implants during or after implantation. The review was conducted according to the recommendations of the PRISMA statement. From an initial search result set of 1050 references, seven articles were included in the review. The study designs were heterogeneous, so no meta-analysis could be performed. Both the CTG and either type of substitute material resulted in increased mucosal thickness. Four studies showed no significant difference, while three demonstrated a significant difference, favoring the CTGs over alternative materials. Soft tissue augmentation around dental implants is a safe procedure and leads to thicker mucosal tissue. The subepithelial connective tissue graft can still be regarded as the gold standard, but substitute materials may be an acceptable alternative in some situations, such as for pain-sensitive patients, among inexperienced surgeons, and for sites with an already thick biotype.

Abstract Aim The purpose of this report is to present the use of different soft tissue grafting procedures for surgical ridge augmentation. Background Multiple augmentative procedures may be indicated for the esthetic reconstruction of edentulous alveolar ridge deformities due to unpredictable shrinkage of augmented tissues. Report A 38-year-old woman with a moderate Class III alveolar ridge defect received periodontal plastic surgery treatment using a combined onlay-interpositional graft procedure and a subepithelial connective tissue graft. Summary This case illustrates the aesthetic reconstruction of a moderate alveolar ridge defect using a twostep approach. Clinical Significance Using different soft tissue grafting procedures might be helpful in planning and treating moderate alveolar ridge defects. The time for remodelling of the augmented tissues needs to be respected before the final prosthesis is placed. Citation Walter C, Büttel L, Weiger R.

The various preprosthetic periodontal surgical techniques proposed currently, provide a future prosthetic work with better aesthetic results and functional.The objective of this study was to report a clinical case of periodontal surgery for correction of the defect in the alveolar border, by means of the subepithelial connective tissue graft. Patient presented fibrous hyperplastic growth, in the region of the maxilla túber and lip defect in the region of the upper central incisor. After planning the event,were carried out, concomitantly, two plastic surgeries prosthetic periodontal lunches. In the first surgery, a connective tissue graft was removed from the donor area, the maxila túber and then was adapted in the anterior region, receiving area where the defect of flange. Thoughtout a postoperatory period of 45 days, that the choice of surgical technique, the type of graft used for correction of the defect of rim, were pre-requisites for the future success in aesthetic and functional prosthetic rehabilitation.
