White discharge formation following a subepithelial connective tissue graft for anterior fixed partial denture pontics: A case report based on clinical and histological findings.

Patient: A 54-year-old woman presenting with anterior alveolar ridge resorption was submitted to a connective tissue graft (CTG) for esthetic improvement before rehabilitation with a fixed partial denture. Palate-harvested connective tissue was used as a graft after extra-oral removal of the epithelium. Unexpectedly, complete wound healing was not observed.
