Description
Matthew Morris describes a new gum graft method for a pocket behind the last lower molar. The case report from 2026 deals with a spot that lacks the tough gum tissue type, with swelling and pain for the patient. The graft shape is a modified horseshoe, which the author calls the M-saddle method.
The patient was aged thirty, with a six millimeter pocket, food trapping, and bleeding at the spot. Gum from the palate was shaped and laid over the back crest and cheek side base. At three months, pain, swelling, and tissue harm in use were gone in full. Tough gum width and mouth floor depth each grew by four millimeters, and pocket depth fell by three.
