Summary
Laser-assisted de-epithelialized free gingival grafts (DFGG) effectively treat gingival recession. This technique improves root coverage, keratinized gingiva width, and aesthetics with predictable outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Periodontology
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Gingival recession is a prevalent mucogingival condition causing root exposure, sensitivity, and aesthetic concerns.
- Surgical root coverage techniques aim to restore lost gingival tissue.
- De-epithelialized free gingival graft (DFGG) merges benefits of free gingival grafts (FGGs) and connective tissue grafts.
