In the recipient area, a half-thickness flap with two vertical incision widths was removed with a horizontal incision with 15C blades from the mucogingival junction. The recipient site was determined such that one or two teeth or one tooth extends into the mesial and distal regions of the tooth. Muscle attachments were dissected and FGG was placed on recipient bed and non-resorbable monofilament sutures were used for fixing the four corners of the graft.
