Abstract

Soft tissues autografting is a proven procedure to get a wider adhered gum, increasing the vestibular depth at the same time and eliminating the tension produced by the abnormal frenum. It can be considered as the best surgical procedure to complete the coverage of denuded root surface. In this work the gingival implant was carried out using “Tisuacryl” as sealant of the wound borders in substitution of the well-known conventional sutures. The objective of the current article is describing the clinical case of a patient with scarce adhered gum, periodontal tissues degree lV according to Miller´s classification and also with orthodontic treatment necessity, subjected to surgical treatment with the mucogingival technique: soft tissues autograft. The results demonstrate Tisuacryl therapeutic effectiveness providing the decrease of the surgical time, with the addition of the patient´s benefited aesthetics and high satisfaction.
