Free Mucogingival Graft for Isolated Root Coverage

"Recipient Site Preparation. In the GR, a sulcular incision limited to the vestibular face will be made, which will continue until reaching the tip of the buccal papillae on each side of the GR. Two vertical incisions from the base of the two papillae to the bottom of the vestibule and one horizontal incision will connect the ends of both vertical incisions to remove the pedicle tissue. The exposed root surface will be cleaned and smoothed with mini-curettes.~Donor site preparation. The incisions will be made in the same way as in the recipient area, including both papillae. The vertical incision will measure the distance from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the bony dehiscence in the GR tooth, plus at least 2 mm. The tissue between the incisions will be elevated fjull or partial thickness close to the bone in the keratinized portion and superficially in the mucosal portion. A soft tissue substitute will be adapted and sutured to protect the donor site."

The exposed root surface will be cleaned and smoothed with mini-curettes.~Donor site preparation A connective tissue graft will be taken from the palatal area, at the level of the premolars, which will include the two papillae. The size of the graft will be the same as that of the recipient area. A soft tissue substitute will be adapted and sutured to protect the donor site, especially if there is exposed bone."
