Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the healing sequence of free autogenous gingival grafts (FAGG) placed directly on cortical bone. Primary biologic objectives were to evaluate the osseous changes that occurred and to determine the origin of the newly formed tissues, e.g. the reparative tissue required to affix the graft to contiguous cortical bone.
A group of Six male mongrel dogs, ages 3-6 years, were selected for this study. Four FAGG’s were placed in the premolar areas of each animal, utilizing gingival procured from the labial aspects of the cuspids as the donor tissues. At the recipient sites full thickness mucoperiosteal flaps were elevated and apically positioned in such a manner that circa 6 mm of bone, apical to the mucogingival junction, were exposed. The gingival units remained intact.
The FAGG’s, which measured 6 x 3 x l mm were placed onto the recipient areas and sutured appropriately with polyglycolic acid resorbable sutures. The central phases of the FAGG’s rested on the buccal faces of the interdental septa. Each FAGG was circumscribed by alveolar mucosa except at their occlusal aspects where the FAGG’s abutted gingiva. Periodontal dressings were rot utilized.
Clinical assessments, including detailed photography, and histologic evaluations were performed at 36 hours, l, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks.
