Case report demonstrates improved keratinized tissue in a 28-year-old with edentulous mandible, suggesting better outcomes for future prosthetic rehabilitation.
The management of edentulous ridges is of paramount importance in prosthetics rehabilitation in dentistry, particularly in the anterior regions for prosthetic or implant purposes. This clinical case reports the treatment of a 28-year-old female patient with stage III grade C periodontitis, presenting with mandibular anterior edentulism with a deficit in keratinized tissue and shallow vestibular depth. After an initial phase of periodontal treatment, an epithelial -connective tissue graft was performed to increase the height and thickness of the keratinized mucosa and the vestibular depth. The results at 2 months showed satisfactory healing, stable integration of the graft and improved local conditions for hygiene and future rehabilitation. A well-integrated graft of sufficient thickness allows for harmonious tissue continuity with adjacent structures, reinforcing the stability and durability of the planned prosthetic rehabilitation.
