ABSTRACT:Gingival recession leads to impaired esthetics and dentinal hypersensitivity and the treatment of such defects with free gingival grafts often pose a challenge, clinically, due to difficulties in harvesting the palatal free gingival graft owing to anatomical variations. This paper will account for a series of cases using de-epithelialized FGG (de-FGG) in the treatment of inadequate width of keratinized tissue and gingival recession using micro-ophthalmic blade. The use of micro-ophthalmic blades, used with magnifying loupe has been found to offer advantages of microsurgical periodontics.
