Soft tissue grafting and plastic surgery

Soft tissue grafting and plastic surgery are surgical procedures aimed at restoring the volume and shape of the gums, improving both the aesthetics and overall health of the oral cavity. These interventions are most commonly performed to treat gum recession, insufficient tissue volume around implants, or as a result of trauma and inflammation. The grafting can involve either the patient’s own tissue (e.g., from the palate) or special biomaterials.
