Cyanoacrylate Tissue Adhesives Versus Silk Suture at the Palatal Donor Site of Sub Epithelial Connective Tissue Graft

Subepithelial connective tissue grafts (CTG) are considered the gold standard procedure with proven clinical success when it comes to gingival augmentation aims to to improve periodontal health, which can enhance the long-term prognosis of teeth by obtaining soft tissue coverage of exposed root surfaces and/or augmentation the dimensions of gingival tissue. The procedure require harvesting tissue from a the palate, which increases the complexity of the procedure and patient discomfort. Complications after harvesting a graft would be pain, inflammation, bleeding, flap necrosis and infection in the donor site.
