Avascular necrosis (AVN) findings and surgical treatment steps. (a) One week after the operation, AVN formation was observed due to bone exposition after the lack of attachment of a labial flap during implant surgery. (b) Bleeding points formed to treat AVN in the bones in the surgical area. (c) Free gingival graft procedure to maintain the coverage of bone in the area of AVN.

Improvement after free gingival graft (FGG) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). (a) Five days after FGG (HBOT was started). (b) Ten days after FGG. (c) Three weeks after FGG. (d) Four weeks after FGG (end of HBOT). (e) Six weeks after FGG and application of gingivoplasty with laser. (f) Two months after FGG.
