CONNECTIVE TISSUE GRAFT IN THE TREATMENT OF MULTIPLE ADJACENT

Marginal tissue recession is a displacement of the soft tissue margin apical to the cement-enamel junction with exposure of the root surface. The etiology of the gingival reces-sions is associated with the gingival inflammation, mechanical factors like improper toothbrushing in the circumstances of tooth malposition, bone dehiscence, thin periodontal tissue, and aberrant frenulum. The treatment of the gingival recession in the last years includes gingival grafting procedures. The most generally used procedure is the free gingival graft. Recent studies have demonstrated that connective tissue grafting is an effective treatment of gingival recession. The graft used may either be an epithelialized graft or a subepithelial connective tissue graft of palatal masticatory mucosa.
