Gingival Cyst of the Adult as Early Sequela of Connective Tissue Grafting

الملخص EN

The subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) is a highly predictable procedure with low complication rate.

The reported early complications consist of typical postsurgical sequelae, such as pain and swelling.

This case report describes the development and management of a gingival cyst following SCTG to obtain root coverage.

Three weeks after SCTG procedure, a slightly raised, indurated, ~5 mm diameter asymptomatic lesion was evident.

Excisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological evaluation confirmed the gingival cyst diagnosis.

At the 1-year follow-up, the site had complete root coverage and normal tissue appearance and the patient remained asymptomatic.
