This investigation is a randomized controlled trial of 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). To evaluate to determine if either grafting technique (FGG vs SGG+ADM) demonstrates superiority in clinical (amount of KT increase, tissue thickness increase, and practitioner-assessed esthetics) and patient-centered outcomes (pain, swelling, change in daily activities, and patient-assessed esthetics) in a controlled study.
