Summary
This study introduces a single-stage surgical technique for root coverage and increasing attached gingiva width. The periosteal pedicle graft offers a predictable solution without a secondary surgical site.
Area of Science:
- Periodontology
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Gingival recession, reduced attached gingiva, and inadequate vestibular depth are common clinical findings.
- Existing treatments for root coverage often lack predictability or necessitate a secondary surgical site, causing patient discomfort.
