Pedicle grafts. In this procedure, instead of taking tissue from the palate, it is grafted from gum around or near the tooth needing repair. The flap, called a pedicle, is only partially cut...
Pedicle grafts take tissue from the gum around or surrounding the tooth that needs repaired. The flap, also known as a pedicle, is partially cut away, leaving one edge attached. We then pull the gum over or down around the exposed root.
A dental soft tissue graft, or a gum graft, is a surgical procedure to treat gum recession by augmenting the gum tissue around your teeth. Not just used to prevent gum recession from progressing, the procedure also reduces the risk of root sensitivity or cavities.
