2. Free gingival graft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_gingival_graft

   A free gingival graft is a type of gingival grafting performed to correct acquired deficiencies of the gum tissue around teeth or dental implants. Besides autologous tissues, xenogeneic collagen matrices are using for gingival augmentation after dental implantation. [ 1 ]

3. Gingival grafting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_grafting

   Gum grafting, also known as a gingival graft or periodontal plastic surgery, is a surgical procedure to reverse gum recession. Gum recession exposes the roots of teeth, [9] which can lead to sensitivity and put teeth at a higher risk of damage or disease [10] due to the loosening of their attachment within the gums and bones of the jaw.

4. Subepithelial connective tissue graft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subepithelial_connective...

   Similar to the free gingival graft, the SECT graft can be described as a free autogenous graft. The term free describes how the graft is completely removed from the donor site rather than remaining attached via a pedicle. The term autogenous, from the Greek root auto-("self"), describes how the individual who receives the graft is the same ...

5. Guided bone and tissue regeneration (dentistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_bone_and_tissue...

   Guided bone regeneration (GBR) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) are dental surgical procedures that use barrier membranes to direct the growth of new bone and gingival tissue at sites with insufficient volumes or dimensions of bone or gingiva for proper function, esthetics or prosthetic restoration. Guided bone regeneration typically refers ...

6. Gingivoplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingivoplasty

   Gingival enlargements Gingivoplasty is accomplished with a periodontal knife, a scalpel, rotary coarse diamond stones, electrodes or laser . [ 2 ] The technique resembles that of the festooning of an artificial denture, which consists of tapering the gingival margin , creating a scalloped marginal outline, thinning the attached gingiva ...

7. Open flap debridement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_flap_debridement

   In dentistry, open flap debridement is a periodontal procedure in which the supporting alveolar bone and root surfaces of teeth are exposed by incising the gingiva to provide increased access for scaling and root planing.

8. Gingivectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingivectomy

   Gingivectomy is the primary treatment method available in reducing the pocket depths of patients with periodontitis and suprabony pockets. [4] [5] In a retrospective comparison between different treatment approach to periodontitis management based on the initial and final gingival health, conventional gingivectomy was proven to be more successful in reducing pocket depths and inflammation ...

   Younger was a follower of John W. Riggs, the first American periodontist.In 1893, he was the first to consider periodontal disease an infection [2] and was the first to discuss the possibility of "periodontal reattachment," a process in which gingival graft tissue could be removed from one site in the mouth and properly reattached to the alveolar bone.
