de-epithelized gingival graft
modified combined approach
A type of mucogingival surgery where a gingival graft is harvested from the palate, prepared chairside and placed on a recipient site to augment it. Dressing material and sutures is placed at the donor site.
A type of mucogingival surgery where a gingival graft is harvested from the palate, prepared chairside and placed on a recipient site to augment it. A part of the prepared tissues namely the epithelial layer is replaced at the donor site and sutured.
