Necrosis de injerto de tejido conectivo subepitelial asociado a incompetencia labial. Reporte de un caso clínico

Abstract

We describe a case report of a patient with lip incompetence and a healthy carrier of a dental implant in the tooth 1.2, which was performed using a connective tissue graft technique for improving an existing slight cosmetic defect. The graft necrosis was possibly due to the dehydration that the tissues are subjected to in these patients with mouth breathing and labial incompetence. The surgical resolution of the case by a second connective tissue graft, and its clinical management to prevent the occurrence of this complication is presented.
