In our dental clinic, Gross Dentists, we have extensive experience in the dental sector<\/strong> and our aim is to preserve<\/strong> and improve<\/strong> the oral health of our patients. In addition, we also consider it necessary to expose topics<\/strong> of interest, such as the one we are going to show you throughout this article… \u00a1 Important aspects about gum grafting<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Problems with the gum recession<\/h2>\n

Before knowing what is gum grafting, its types<\/strong> and recovery<\/strong> recommendations, it is essential to mention the problems of gum<\/strong> recession.<\/p>\n

Gum recession<\/strong> corresponds to the loss of gum<\/strong> that leaves the root of the tooth visible. Therefore<\/strong>, we can say that the aspect that originates<\/strong> in the mouth is that the gum line is at a higher height than usual.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this type of situation, it is extremely important<\/strong> to go to a good dentist to find out what caused it. In this sense, the factors that can trigger gum recession<\/strong> are several: Poor oral hygiene habits, bruxism, tobacco, among others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But… what effects does the gum recession<\/strong> cause on the affected person? This gum elevation can provide greater sensitivity to cold, inflammation of tissue, discomfort during the time of brushing<\/strong>, dental mobility, damage the aesthetics of the smile, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is gum grafting?<\/h2>\n

Now that you know more about the problems of gum recession<\/strong>, it is the ideal time to reveal what is gum grafting.<\/p>\n

The gum graft, also called periodontal plastic surgery<\/strong>, is a solution to the problem of gum recession, specifically an intervention that involves extracting<\/strong> a small amount of soft tissue<\/strong> and placing it in the retracted area.<\/p>\n

In addition, it should be noted that it corresponds to a minimally invasive technique<\/strong>, which does not cause pain in the patient<\/strong> and does not affect his health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What types of gum grafts exist?<\/h2>\n

Gum grafts can be divided into the three groups<\/strong> shown below:<\/p>\n

Connective tissue grafts<\/h3>\n

This guy\u2019s the most used. An incision is made inside the palate<\/strong> to obtain the connective tissue<\/strong> from it, then this tissue is placed in the retracted gum<\/strong>, being completely covered.<\/p>\n

Free grafts<\/h3>\n

It is obtained directly from the palate<\/strong>, including internal tissue and skin. After this, it is placed on the exposed root without covering<\/strong> it.<\/p>\n

Pedicled grafts<\/h3>\n

In this case, the gum moves from the areas neighbouring<\/strong> the affected.<\/p>\n

Recommendations for the recovery of this intervention<\/h2>\n

Once the intervention is performed it is important to follow the following recommendations<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Place ice in the affected area.<\/li>\n
  • During the first few days you must follow a diet based on soft, warm or cold foods.<\/li>\n
  • Do not rinse the area the same day as the procedure.<\/li>\n
  • During the first 24 hours should not remove the protector of the palate.<\/li>\n
  • Brushing should be avoided in the intervened area, as this could open the points.<\/li>\n
  • You don\u2019t have to pull your lip to see the graft.<\/li>\n
  • Important physical activities should be avoided.<\/li>\n
  • You should not smoke.<\/li>\n
  • It is essential to follow the medication prescribed by the specialist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
