Palatine grafts, which today represent the simplest and most reliable technique for enhancing the adherent gum--a problem of great importance in periodontal treatment--are discussed together with other techniques designed for the same purpose. Bone site palatine grafts which restore adherent gum on the alveolar bone, are distinguished from osteo-dental site grafts which are proposed for the treatment of split gums and which only take partially on the radicular surface.
