Abstract :

The free gingival grafts have been used in periodontics to primarily augment the width of attached gingiva and to a lesser extent cover denuded root surfaces. An adequate width of attached gingiva is essential to maintain oral hygiene, to keep gingiva healthy and free of inflammation. In this case report graft material was obtained from the palatal donor site. And results of this case report indicate that free gingival grafting is an excellent technique to increase the width of the attached gingiva and to maintain stable periodontal health.
