Are graft rejections common? How are they treated? And what types of grafts are used for building up the gum tissue?

I think autografts are considered the best, because they have pretty good success, and it's real easy to get "your" donor.

...for building up the gum tissue?

this may be a dumb question..
...but r u talking about bone grafts or gingival grafts for mucogingival defects?

To my knowledge, if it's a gingival graft and it doesn't take, the tissue just slowly disappears. I suppose there could be other, more severe reactions if the tissue somehow weren't compatible or certainly if it were a bone graft.
