The sutureless free gingival graft. 1979

D L Hoexter

A technique designed to utilize the autogenous free gingival graft without the use of sutures was demonstrated. Necessary objectives were maintained but achieved without unnecessarily piercing the graft, and in less time. The only variance in results would be due to the underlying physical properties of the recipient site. This new approach to grafting avoids the cyanoacrylate from getting between the graft and recipient site, therefore acting as a foreign body. Also shown was the complete coverage of a denuded root surface by this technique using a free autogenous gingival graft. This technique enables the surgeon to achieve the results of a predictable technique (autogenous free gingival graft) even more predictably simple.
