Abstract

Introduction: The pedicle connective tissue graft technique harvested from the palate is an effective treatment method for gingival recession in the maxillary anterior region. Although the traditional technique has been widely applied, it still has some limitations, such as difficulty in controlling the size and quality of the graft, requiring the surgeon to possess high skills to minimize invasiveness and bleeding at the donor site. Objective and Methods: In this study, we applied an improved pedicle connective tissue graft technique to treat a 40-year-old male patient with gingival recession due to tooth loss. The grafting procedure was performed once to increase the volume of connective tissue and enhance aesthetic outcomes. Results: Post-surgery, there was a significant improvement in gingival size, with the color and morphology of the grafted area closely resembling that of the surrounding gingiva. Follow-up results after one month indicated good healing of the graft site, with no complications and enhanced aesthetics. Conclusion: The improved pedicle connective tissue graft technique harvested from the palate is an advanced method that allows for better control over the size and quality of the graft while minimizing trauma to the donor site and shortening recovery time for patients.
