What the study is about

This study is to compare the two techniques to achieve change in the tissue quality at areas of lack of Keratinized Tissue (KT) using soft tissue grafting with autogenous graft material (Free Gingival Graft)(FGG) vs Strip gingival graft with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) (SGG+ADM).

Being studied: Strip Free gingival graft (SGG) + Acellular Dermal Matrix graft (ADM); Free Gingival graft

Conditions: Gingival Recession; Lack of Keratinized Attached Peri-implant Mucosa; Thin Gingiva
