Restauração de ionômero de vidro modificado com resina combinada a enxerto gengival livre para tratamento de lesão de furca avançada: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Advanced furcation lesions represent a challenge in periodontal treatment, requiring approaches that promote tissue stability and control disease progression. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the association of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) with free gingival graft (FGG), highlighting the role of FGG in increasing keratinized mucosa. A narrative review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, and the Virtual Health Library (BVS). The analyzed studies suggested that resin-modified glass ionomer has good adhesive properties and biocompatibility, contributing to the protection of the treated region. The free gingival graft, in turn, has been widely used to increase keratinized mucosa, providing greater mechanical resistance and tissue stability around the involved teeth. The combination of these techniques is a promising alternative to improve the prognosis of advanced furcation lesions, offering both structural and functional benefits. However, more randomized clinical studies and long-term research are needed to validate the effectiveness of this approach in different clinical contexts and populations.
