Implication

This scoping review evaluates various suturing techniques' effects on graft stabilization and outcomes in gingival grafts, indicating the need for standardized protocols.

Key Points

This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of different suturing techniques in stabilizing gingival grafts to improve clinical outcomes.
Conducted a scoping review using databases including Scopus and PubMed.
Utilized PICO criteria focusing on gingival grafts, suturing techniques, and clinical outcomes.
Screened 838 records, narrowing down to 73 studies through dual-reviewer screening.
Assessed study quality using Joanna Briggs Institute tools.
72% of free gingival graft studies reported significant improvement in keratinized tissue width with interrupted sutures.
94% of connective tissue graft studies showed root coverage success with sling-based suturing techniques.
Outcomes varied significantly due to heterogeneous study designs and inconsistent reporting of suture materials.
