PEDICLE SOFT TISSUE GRAFT
 
  • Dental Code: D4270 – Pedicle soft tissue graft
  • A pedicle tissue graft is performed to "fix" gum recession
  • This type of graft involves the “sharing” of soft tissue between the affected site and adjacent gum. A flap of tissue is partially cut away and moved sideways to cover the root.
  • This procedure code can be used to report the tunneling procedure technique or the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique
  • It involves augmenting the gingiva to obtain adequate root coverage
