This study evaluated free gingival grafts for root coverage in 22 patients with gingival recession. The technique successfully reduced recession, showing stable results over time.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Gingival recession affects facial tooth surfaces, leading to aesthetic and sensitivity concerns.
  • Autogenous free gingival grafts are a surgical option for root coverage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of free gingival grafts in achieving root coverage.
  • To evaluate the long-term stability of root coverage achieved with this technique.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical root coverage using autogenous free gingival grafts.
  • Study included 22 patients with facial tooth surface recession.
  • Pre- and post-treatment probing depths were compared over time.

Main Results:

  • A general decrease in gingival recession was observed across all measured tooth surfaces.

  • Recession levels remained largely stable throughout the study period.
  • A minor, non-significant increase in midfacial recession was noted at 4 years.

    • Conclusions:

    • Autogenous free gingival grafts are effective for root coverage.
    • The technique provides stable root coverage results with minimal long-term changes.
