What is mucogingival surgery?
Mucogingival surgery is a specialized procedure that corrects problems in the relationship between the gums and the oral mucosa. Its main objective is to improve the health of the gums and the esthetics of the smile, in addition to treating conditions that affect the quantity and quality of the gum tissue around the teeth or implants.
Common techniques in mucogingival surgery
- Free gingival graft: Tissue is removed from the roof of the mouth or another area of the mouth and transplanted into the affected area to increase the amount of gingiva.
- Subepithelial connective tissue graft: Used to cover exposed roots or thicken gums, improving both health and esthetics.
- Flap repositioning: The gum is repositioned in areas with recession or excess tissue to correct the problem.

When is mucogingival surgery needed?
This type of surgery is recommended in cases of:
- Gingival recession: When the gums recede, exposing the dental roots, which can lead to tooth sensitivity, risk of caries or esthetic problems.
- Keratinized gingiva deficiency: Lack of thick, tough gingiva around teeth or implants, which can compromise their stability and periodontal health.
- Coverage of dental implants: Improves the esthetics and function of the tissue around the implants, promoting proper integration and promoting long-term implant health.
Recovery and aftercare

- Recovery is usually rapid.
- Detailed postoperative instructions will be provided, such as the use of specific mouth rinses.
- The consumption of hard or irritating foods should be avoided in the first days.
- The discomfort is usually mild and is controlled with analgesics recommended by the surgeon.
