Abstract
Keratinized mucosa surrounding dental implants fulfills both esthetic and functional purposes, while regular free gingival graft (FGG) surgeries often lead to color and texture mismatch. The present clinical report describes a novel surgical technique designed for situations with inadequate keratinized mucosa width and color inconsistency around implants in the esthetic zone. The rationale for this technique is reviewed.
