The perspectives of a novel operative procedure for free gingival graft

Double vertical interrupted suture for optimal adaptation and stabilization of free gingival graft around dental implants: a case report

“…In addition, adequate approximation and fixation of the FGG into the recipient bed is most often difficult to achieve, especially in sites with high muscle pull and limited vestibular depth, in the presence of scarred periosteum or uneven recipient bed. Some techniques have been described to stabilize the FGG, including suturing techniques [ 15 , 16 ], titanium tacks [ 13 ], acrylic stent [ 17 ], and cyanoacrylates [ 18 , 19 ].…”

“…introduced a periosteal suturing technique for dental implants to secure the FGG over the recipient bed in the coronal borders of the graft. The authors stated this suturing technique might be impossible in cases with thin phenotype tissues [ 15 ].…”

“…Whereas this suturing technique is beneficial for graft adaptation over the implant site, such suture techniques could not achieve graft adaptation in areas between the implants. This is especially true when the implants are distant from each other [ 11 , 15 ].…”

Free gingival graft harvested from maxillary tuberosity for buccal deficiency of a dental implant

“…1 D, the FGG was placed and sutured in the recipient bed according to our recent report. 4 Stitches were removed after 2 weeks. The wound healing was uneventful.…”

“… 3 By the use of new periosteum suture technique, the FGG can be firmly adapted to the recipient site with minimal graft shrinkage. 4 In addition, when the FGG is harvested from the tuberosity site, the postoperative pain can be reduced. 5…”
