Treatment planning Classification according to keratinized tissue

Ono, Nevins and Capetta Classification

This classification is based on keratinized tissue around proposed implant site.

type 1. Flap can be apically positioned to augment keratinized tissue on the labial side.

type 2. Class 1 : less or no keratinized tissue is found on labial side. A free gingival graft is recommended.

most part of lingual keratinized gingival will be excised. A gingival graft is planned on the labial side along with an apically positioned flap on the lingual side.

type 3. There is no keratinized gingival either on labial or alveolar ridge crest. A gingival graft will be made to augment the area of keratinized tissue on the labial side along with an apically positioned flap.
