Abstract
A simultaneous operation of implantation and free autogenous gingival graft was improved. The process of this surgical method was as follows:1)Implantation. 2) Preparation of connective bed 2 to 3 mm apart from implant neck and suture of the apically positioned flap with periosteum down below.3) Section of the free graft from the donor site in the palate sutured in the position.
This method would secure attached gingiva around implant neck very easily and steadily. The features of this method were as follows:We could secure a surgical field large enough for a successful operation without running a risk of hurting the periosteum.The patients could get enough gingiva attached to the implant and wide vestibular.
