A second surgical site is created after tunnel preparation. A free gingival graft was collected from the lateral palate, with extra-oral desepithelialization, becoming a subepithelial connective tissue graft. (Zucchelli, Mele et al. 2010).
Implantoplasty- provoking or reducing inflammation? – a systematic scoping review
Published in Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2022

The studies from Schwarz et al. [18,32–34] and Wang et al. [36] have a randomised controlled study design (RCT), but are randomised with respect to treatment with Er:YAG laser or control treatment in the intrabony aspect of the peri-implant defect prior to regenerative therapy. In these two studies, implantoplasty was conducted in the supracrestal compartment in all subjects. In the studies by Nart et al. [37], Matarasso et al. [38], Schwarz et al. [39], Ramanauskaite et al. [35], Galarraga-Vinueza et al. [40], the supracrestal component of the implants was treated with adjunctive implantoplasty, whereas reconstructive treatment was performed in the intrabony aspect following various decontamination procedures. In Romeo et al. [16,17] and Ravida et al. [41], surgical treatment with adjunctive implantoplasty with bone recontouring was compared to surgical treatment with bone recontouring only. Englezos [42] et al. and Bianchini et al. [43,44] performed implantoplasty with some bone recontouring. In Lasserre et al. [45], implantoplasty was performed without bone recontouring and compared to treatment with glycine air-polishing. In Dalago et al. [46], open flap debridement with adjunctive implantoplasty was compared to open flap debridement with and without subepithelial connective tissue graft.
Topical simvastatin gel as a novel therapeutic modality for palatal donor site wound healing following free gingival graft procedure
Published in Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2018
Autogenous soft-tissue grafting is a procedure that is used extensively nowadays in dentistry. Harvesting-free gingival graft (FGG) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) have been the standard techniques used to increase soft-tissue volume [1,2]. Soft-tissue augmentation can be indicated in many conditions such as localized ridge defects, ridge preservation and as preprosthetic surgical technique [1–4]. Despite the anatomical and individual limitations that might hinder autogenous soft-tissue grafting, the common drawbacks of using autogenous tissue are generally due to the harvesting procedure and the prolonged healing time needed for the donor site which increases the patient’s morbidity [5,6]. In addition, pain, discomfort and numbness are common patients complain following the surgery that may last for several weeks [7–9].

Although clinically MH is not a medical problem or a disease, the demand for cosmetic corrections is on the increase, mainly by fair-skinned people and when MH is located on the anterior labial gingiva (2–5).This problem is aggravated in patients with a “gummy smile” or excessive gingival display while smiling (2–7). Gingival depigmentation is a periodontal surgical procedure, whereby the gingival hyperpigmentation is removed or reduced with different treatment methods, such as bur abrasion, scraping with scalpel, partial thickness flap, gingivectomy, cryotherapy, electrosurgery, free gingival autografting, chemical methods, subepithelial connective tissue graft, lasers and combination techniques (1–4). Even though selection of a technique is mainly based on clinical experience and individual preferences, most authors recognize laser ablation as the most effective, pleasant and reliable technique for depigmentation of gingiva (1–4).
