Free gingival graft embossed over laterally flipped periosteum for root coverage: A novel case report.

Innovations in surgical techniques have improved the esthetic outcome and predictability of root coverage procedures in recent years. A free gingival graft (FGG) augments the attached gingiva, but the compromised blood supply precludes its use in root coverage. In the surgical technique described in this case report, the FGG kept over a laterally placed periosteal flap enhanced the outcome.
