From Exposure to Coverage: The Gold Standard of Subepithelial Grafting: The Power of Connective Tissue Grafts

The subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) is a trusted, time-tested technique for reversing gingival recession and restoring healthy smiles. By gently harvesting connective tissue, usually from the palate and placing it beneath the receded gum line, SCTG promotes natural root coverage, strengthens gingival thickness, and enhances both esthetics and durability. With its high success rate and predictable outcomes, SCTG remains a gold standard in periodontal therapy, offering patients long-term stability and a confident, revitalized smile.
