ENXERTO DE TECIDO CONJUNTIVO PARA CORREÇÃO DE SEQUELA APÓS BIÓPSIA EXCISIONAL: RELATO DE CASO.

The biopsy is a surgical intervention which is removing part or the entire injury, examining after such procedure as histopathological features of the specimen. Gingival recession is defined as the dislocation of the gingival margin apically to the cementoenamel junction. Among the surgical techniques used for root coverage, the conjunctive tissue graft stands out. The objective of this study is to report the clinical case of a patient treated at the dental specialization center of stomatology of the Asces-Unita school of dentistry, in which she presented a defect in the gingival region inserted after excisional biopsy. The patient reported gum lesion for four months, without symptoms, she was submitted to excisional biopsy and after the procedure reported sensitivity in the region, where through oral examination the presence of root exposure was seen. In the face of this condition, conjunctive tissue graft was performed to correct the gingival defect. The use of subepithelial conjunctive tissue graft to reduce root exposure is a viable alternative, with predictable results and short- and long-term stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
