Lingual Gingival Augmentation of Mandibular Implants

Dental implants may require attached tissue to prevent peri-mucositis or peri-implantitis. When there is a lack of attached tissue at the mandibular lingual aspect of dental implants a free gingival graft may be done after careful consideration of anatomical structures.  An acryl stent may be used to protect the site from oral functioning.
