[Muco-gingival procedures (author's transl)].
The gingival marginal region, in which the inflammatory processes of parodontal disease commence, needs to be protected by a sufficient height and thickness of attached gum. Surgical procedures for these lesions must, therefore, involve the attached gum. A variety of muco-gingival procedures have recently replaced the classical vestibular deepening operation which was always followed by a relapse.
