Abstract

This article describes the use of the sub epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) as a donor source for root
coverage. The success of these grafts has been attributed to the double-blood supply at the recipient site
from the underlying connective tissue base and the overlying recipient flap. The application of connective
tissue grafts has become a widely accepted therapeutic option in aesthetically oriented periodontal plastic
surgery. Connective tissue grafts are a versatile treatment method in periodontal plastic surgery and periimplant soft tissue plastic surgery. Their strengths are ease of handling and good prospects of success.
Harvesting techniques that are minimally traumatic but aimed at maximizing tissue volume ensure multipurpose usability of connective tissue grafts.

Keywords: Connective tissue, Grafts, Periodontol plastic surgery.
