Soft-tissue Augmentation Utilising De-epithelialised Autogenous Free Gingival Graft for the Amelioration of Miller Class I and II Gingival Recession

In recent decades, the field of periodontology has been significantly shaped by an increasing focus on aesthetics, leading to the development of various surgical techniques to address gingival recession. Miller Class I and II gingival recessions, in particular, present a persistent challenge in dental care. This case report evaluated the effectiveness of de-epithelialised autogenous free gingival grafts (DAFGGs) as a surgical intervention for improving soft-tissue in Miller Class I and II gingival recessions. The findings demonstrated that DAFGG offers notable benefits, including enhanced root coverage, increased keratinised tissue width and improved aesthetic outcomes. Furthermore, the procedure was well tolerated, causing minimal discomfort at the donor site. DAFGGs are a practical and effective treatment option for Miller Class I and II gingival recessions, offering significant clinical and aesthetic advantages.
