Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Oral Surgery
  • Wound Healing

Background:

  • Gingival grafting aims to cover exposed root surfaces and augment keratinized tissue.
  • Traditional grafting methods can cause significant trauma to donor and recipient sites.
  • Minimizing surgical trauma is crucial for efficient wound healing and patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel strip technique for gingival grafting.
  • To maximize the graft area while reducing trauma to donor and recipient sites.
  • To promote rapid epithelialization and minimize patient discomfort.

Main Methods:

  • A partial-thickness flap is raised, leaving periosteum intact at the recipient site.
  • The apical mucosal border is sutured to the periosteum for stability.

  • Donor tissue is harvested in 2-mm wide strips, transferred, and sutured.
  • Dry foil and surgical packing are used for site protection during healing.

    • Main Results:

    • The strip technique allows for maximized graft area.
    • The procedure results in minimal trauma to both donor and recipient sites.
    • Rapid epithelialization of the donor site occurs within 10 days.
    • Patient discomfort is minimized post-operatively.

    Conclusions:

    • The strip technique is an effective method for gingival grafting.
    • This technique offers advantages in terms of graft area, trauma reduction, and patient comfort.
    • Rapid donor site healing is a significant benefit of this approach.
