Evaluation of SECTG Vs. Laser-DGG in Management of Gingival Recessions.

After the administration of local anesthesia, the dimension of the needed graft will be marked by a #15c blade and then diode laser de-epithelization will take place. The de-epithelized area will be then harvested using a # 15c blade. The donor site will be covered by cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive dressing .

After administration of local anesthesia. A single incision will be made to the bone in a horizontal direction 3mm apical to the gingival margin of the maxillary teeth. The length of the incision will be determined by the dimensions of the graft required. A partial-thickness dissection will be then made within the single incision aiming to harvest an average thickness of two mm subepithelial connective tissue. Then, the graft will be carefully elevated from the palate with the use of the blade. Primary closure will be obtained using 4-0 polyglycolic acid
