Triple Attachment Graft

Plaque and tartar accumulation over time causes a gingival recession and bone loss, which in turn causes sensitivity, root caries, and tooth mobility. Grafts are preferred to cover and regenerate these areas of recession and bone loss. A triple attachment graft comprises spongy bone, compact bone, and gingiva. It is harvested from the palate. Once the graft is placed and sutured, complete healing and regeneration take place in three months.
