How CAF+CTG is performed
This procedure often uses autologous oral connective tissue or evaluated alternative materials. Typically, under local anesthesia, a gingival flap is raised, the exposed root surface is treated, and the recipient area is shaped. The connective tissue is transplanted to the target area, and the flap is coronally repositioned to cover and microsutured. Magnification and minimally invasive instruments can be used during the procedure to protect blood supply. Early postoperative monitoring focuses on bleeding, swelling, and graft viability. The goal is to thicken the soft tissue and improve root surface coverage. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
