Abstract:
The transposition of connective tissue to increase the zone of keratinized tissue or cover exposed root surfaces has become an integral part of the surgical dental practice. An effort to expand the surgical protocol to gingival recession of ulcerative etiology is presented. Parameters such as pathogenesis, clinical characteristic, and histopathology are analytically discussed. Furthermore, different aspects of the mucogingival therapy phase of the grafting procedure are presented.
