Specializes in Pain Management

Allograft?: You probably meant autograft. Allograft tissue, taken from another person, takes longer to incorporate into the recipient's body. Allografts avoid the need for a donor site and provides an unlimited quantity of tissue for generalized root covering treatments. I hope it makes sense.
