After initial semilunar coronally positioned flap similar to SCPF group, thedenuded area between the initial incision and the apical margin of the coronally positioned flap is the recipient site for the free gingival graft.A tin foil was placed on the recipient site and a template was prepared. Thetin foil template was then placed over the palatal area and an incision was made allround the template to a depth of 2 mm and 1 mm larger than the outline of the tin foilto accommodate graft shrinkage. The harvested graft (Fig.1-D) was placed on togauze soaked in normal saline solution. The underside of the graft was inspected overhanging tissues. The donor area was then closed with continuous sutures.The graft was adapted to the recipient site and immobilized by holding sutures using 5-0 vicryl suture (Fig.1-E). The graft was firmly held in place using digital pressure for 5 minutes to reduce the dead space, permit fibrin clot formationand prevent bleeding as it may result in a hematoma under the graft and cause subsequent necrosis. Periodontal dressing (Coepack®) was placed at the donor site and over the graft.
