Histological differences of gingival autografts of various donor sites and clinical results in mucogingival surgery
| Resumo: | Soft tissue grafting has become a substantial element in periodontal and implant mucogingival surgeries. The choice of donor site selection and the harvesting technique are two important factors to take into consideration. The goal of this narrative review is to compare the histological characteristics and clinical results of gingival grafts harvested from the palatal and tuberosity areas, applied in mucogingival surgery procedures. The focus of analysis was on how their composition at a histological level correlate with the following clinical parameters: postoperative shrinkage, volume gain, stability, width of keratinized tissue gain, aesthetics and morbidity. It was concluded that the location of the donor site and the grafting technique can affect the graft composition, which may have an impact in the clinical results of mucogingival procedures. More well design randomized clinical trials in mucogingival procedures comparing different types of grafts are needed to further elucidate potential differences in clinical outcomes. |
