Grafting options include using a thin layer of tissue from the palate. This is a simple surgery, the donor is the patient's own tissue and heals rapidly and predictably.

  • I completed my first FGG last week, however I think the graft may not have took. Any tips you can think of so this won't happen again?

  • @MrAwishart wait and see how things heal. It is very difficult to have a gingival graft fail. That said what kind of training do you have?

  • @perieau I'm still in dental school. It's only been 5 days and the patient is coming in tomorrow, but she has said it doesn't look healthy. Faculty periodontist says stay hopeful and see how it turns out. Your videos are great and having you as a reference on here is so useful! Keep posting!

  • @MrAwishart if the graft is over 1.5mm thick the epithelium will slough and it will look blotchy red and white. As it reepithelializes then the tissue will look uniformly pink. Mine don't have the epi slough because they are thin enough to keep the plasmatic circulation to the epi alive.

  • is their a way to end gingivitis without surgery

  • @BlackRose07P gingivitis is a reversible ailment of the gum only not involving the bone. Typical resolution with cleaning, sometimes deep cleaning, brushing and flossing. Surgery is not required.

  • Gingivitis is one of the gum graft and also known as periodontal plastic surgery, and in this tissue implants can be done. In these days this surgery is so effective for gum grafts treatment

  • Wow. I just got here from TheOatmeal

  • just had this done yesetrday

  • I had something similar done just about 50 hours ago, but I had a free graft because of a receiding gum line, you feel nothing during the surgery, but eating is diffacult for a while. and where the gum is removed from the roof of the mouth is very very painful if you are active.

  • like a bitch!!! They are exposing bone tissue which has endless amount of nerve fibers, not to mention the inflammation....Ask for dilaudid to kill the Pain!!! This is what Lindsy Lohan recommends
