What is the meaning of Pedicle Graft?

Pedicle Graft is widely used term in Dental Procedures.

A pedicle graft, in dental procedures, is a technique used to treat gum recession or gingival recession. It involves using gum tissue from an adjacent area in the mouth, such as the palate, and transferring it to cover the exposed root surface of the affected tooth or teeth. The gum tissue used for the graft is still connected to its original blood supply, making it a pedicle graft. This procedure helps restore the normal position of the gum line, improve overall gum health, and protect the root surface from further damage or decay.
