A member asked:
I have done a connective tissue gum graft and i see a bit of tooth exposed. will the gum move to its place or is it a sign of failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gingival Graft: So many factors go into the success of these grafts. "A bit" of tooth exposed does not detail how much was exposed before the surgery. Please discuss with your periodontist.
