What is it about?
Background: Gingival recession and a lack of keratinized tissue are implicated in the progression of periodontal tissue destruction and can ultimately contribute to tooth loss. Various techniques and materials have been used in current practice, of which free gingival grafts (FGG) have revealed predictable outcomes in modifying gingival biotype and increasing the width of keratinized tissue.

Why is it important?
Stabilization of the donor graft, traditionally achieved with sutures, is a crucial factor in successful tissue augmentation. These reports detail an alternative approach of using a tissue adhesive (cyanoacrylate) to obtain similar outcomes with improved benefits.
Perspectives
A goal in successful soft tissue grafting is to achieve expedient and uncomplicated healing. Successful practitioners are constantly searching for techniques and procedures that achieve these surgical principles in a predictable way.
