“…Augmentation of gingival dimensions Elimination of the frenum Increase of vestibular depth Improvement of local anatomic factors associated with facial tooth position Large, prominent roots with dehiscence Stabilization of progressive gingival recession Correction of ridge deformities and undercuts Protection of denture bearing surface 42 Free gingival grafting can be used as a 2-stage procedure for root coverage with coronal advancement once the graft has healed. It has also been found to achieve root coverage as a 1-step surgical procedure in 44% 43,44 and up to 89.9% of the sites when applied appropriately.…”

“…Since 1976, MAL grafting approaches based on the use of free gingival grafts have been used to manage anterior lingual recessions 2,3 . Later, with the advent of subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG), 4,5 other approaches for the treatment of lingual recessions were reported.…”

Introduction The mandibular anterior lingual (MAL) keratinized tissue (KT) band is often insufficient in dimension: <2 mm height of which <1 mm is attached gingiva (AG). Its gingival phenotype is commonly characterized as thin (<1 mm) gingival thickness (GT) and having inadequate (<1 mm) AG width. When surgical treatment is indicated, prevention of significant apical displacement of the gingival margin and improvement of long‐term gingival stability are enhanced by KT increase and phenotype modification in order to establish thick GT and adequate AG. The aim of this case report is to describe a bilaminar surgical approach, the modified coronally advanced flap (mCAF) and connective tissue graft with retained KT band (mCAF + CTGkt). It is an outcomes‐driven surgical approach for KT increase and phenotype modification in order to predictably establish thick GT and adequate AG. The mCAF + CTGkt procedure is minimally invasive, predictable, well‐tolerated and addresses both the unique features of MAL anatomy and normal oral functioning movement during the postoperative healing phase. Case Presentation A 48‐year‐old female presented with chief complaint of MAL progressive gingival recession (GR). Attachment loss of 3–4 mm and lack of both KT and AG were documented. Primary treatment outcomes objectives were GR cessation, establish KT, increase GT and AG. A secondary outcome was decreasing GR. Conclusion The mCAF + CTGkt procedure resulted in KT increase, phenotype modification to establish thick GT and adequate AG, and decreased GR. It addressed unique features of MAL anatomy. Postoperative healing outcomes were not negatively impacted by normal oral functioning.

The Alteration of Lingual Mucosa With Free Gingival Grafts: Protection of a Denture Bearing Surface

Abstract: A technique has been described which has altered the form of denture bearing alveolar mucosa. Free gingival palatal grafts were used to create an attached gingival environment upon which removal denture prosthesis may rest.
