Abstract
Graft shrinkage, epithelial disintegration, and even necrosis are the well-known clinical complications during initial healing stage of free gingival graft (FGG) procedure. This article presented a novel operative prodecure for FGG in a dental implant with insufficient keratinized tissue over a 3-year follow-up period. Briefly, donor site for FGG harvested from maxillary tuberosity would minimize the volume of graft shrinkage. The new periosteum suture technique could secure FGG firmly adapted on the recipient site. With 1 mm gap between FGG and muco-gingival junction may improve plasmatic circulation and revascularization. The clinical findings of case report demonstrated that this novel operative procedure may provide a viable therapeutic alternative for FGG.
