Connective tissue grafts (CTG) from the tuberosity are effective for gingival augmentation. However, a rare hyperplastic response can occur, posing challenges for complete removal and requiring patient awareness.
Area of Science:
- Periodontology
- Oral Surgery
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Connective tissue grafts (CTG) are widely used for gingival tissue augmentation.
- Tuberosity and posterior palate offer denser collagen for grafts compared to anterior sites.
- Hyperplastic responses to CTG are rarely reported in existing literature.
