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.
A barrier membrane is then fastened to the gum, the socket is packed with bone grafting material and the wound closed over the barrier membrane. Where the barrier membrane does not dissolve, it is removed approximately 30 days after placement, [5] and the graft becomes incorporated into the healing bone 3–9 months later.

In patients with systemic problems interdisciplinary collaboration is indicated to adjust therapy background so that it does not adversely affect implanto-prosthetic treatment. [13] Current treatments for destructive periodontal disease are not able to restore damaged bone and connective tissue support for teeth (infra-bony defects).
Others, including Broome and Taggert [4] and Donn [5] also described the use of SECT grafts for increasing the zone of keratinized tissue. Of the various ways of preparing the graft recipient site, Edel described using two vertical incisions, mesial and distal to the teeth at which the zone of keratinized tissue was intended to be widened.

Cut it into 2-inch chunks and take it for a spin in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste (see image below). Pulsing instead of whirling the machine nonstop will prevent the ginger from ...
[10] [28] Chronic rejection is the loss of graft function due to sustained immune response against the graft, leading to the functional loss of tissue graft from months to years. [10] [28] One standard method for treating the complications that arise from immune rejection is using immunosuppressive drugs. [10]
