Gingival loss may be caused by gingival recession, an accompanying lesion of periodontitis, which can be restored to its normal shape by membrane gingival surgery, including lateral transposition flap, free gingival grafting, connective tissue grafting, etc., as follows.
1. Lateral transposition flap surgery: It is suitable for treating narrower gingival recession of individual teeth, utilizing healthy gingiva of adjacent teeth to form a gingival mucosal flap with a tip, and transferring it to the lesion area to cover the exposed root surface.
2. Free gingival grafting: For gingival recession of multiple teeth, autologous healthy keratinized gingival tissue is transplanted to the affected area.
3. Connective Tissue Grafting: For wider and deeper gingival recession, a tipped semi-thick skin flap is combined with autologous free connective tissue.
There may be other reasons for gum loss, so it is recommended that you visit a hospital in a timely manner to determine the cause of the problem and then proceed with targeted treatment.
