The Connective Tissue Graft (CTG)
The Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) is our esthetic workhorse. It can be used to cover exposed roots with vert attractive results.. The predictability of the root coverage depends, among other things, on the extent of recession. Dr. Alvarenga uses the “Miller Classification” to help predict how much root coverage can be expected from the Connective Tissue Graft.
