The contiguous mucosal graft is designed primarily for use in vestibular deepening but may serve as an adjunctive technique in the management of other mucogingival defects. A large amount of donor material can be obtained by this procedure which is relatively simple to perform and generally unattended by surgical complications of hermorrhage and excessive pain. Its benefits are esthetic as well as functional since the replaced tissue reproduces the original both in appearance and histological details.
