The revascularization of gingival autografts. placed either on fenestrated periosteum or on non‐fenestrated periosteum, has been compared by means of 12 fluorescein angiographs, taken 8, 10 and 12 days postoperatively on 12 patients, 18–32 years of age. The grafts placed on periosteum (P‐zone) showed a mean increase of fluorescence of 10.6% between the 8th and 10th day and of 19.4% between the 10th and 12th day. At that time the circulatory system in the graft seemed to be established for 97.7%. The grafts placed on fenestrated periosteum (B‐zone) showed a mean increase of fluorescence of 13.2% between the 8th and the 10th day and of 13.5% between the 10th and 12th day. The revascularization reached 96.1% at that time. Between both groups no statistically significant difference has been found. It can be concluded that a periosteal receptor side is not a prerequisite for the formation of an even circulatory pattern in gingival autografts.
