Case 8 – Allograft

In this case, I utilized an allograft donor tissue to accomplish root coverage and increase the gingival tissue. The benefit of using an allograft is the lack of a second surgical site to harvest tissue. I find that patients exhibit less pain and complications when this procedure is performed. After 6 weeks of healing an after picture was taken to compare with how the patient initially presented. Also, the patient reported a decrease in sensitivity to cold liquids and was very pleased with the esthetic outcome.
