• Increasing the width of attached gingiva is important for periodontal health and aesthetics. Here’s how these techniques generally perform:
  • Laterally positioned pedicle graft involves using tissue from an adjacent site to augment the width of attached gingiva at the recession site without losing blood supply, making it quite effective.
  • Free gingival graft can also increase attached gingiva, but since it comes from a donor site, the healing and appearance may not be optimal compared to pedicle grafts.
  • Apically displaced flap primarily repositions existing tissue and may not necessarily increase the width of attached gingiva.
