Abstract: The treatment of the mucogingival problems is one of the main objectives of the periodontal therapy. The insufficient or absent attached gingival increases the risk of development of gingival recessions. The classical grafting procedures cannot offer a solution for coverage of a larger than 3 teeth recipient area. The strip technique for free gingival graft avoids the limitations of the palatal donor area and decreases the number of surgical procedures required for augmentation of the attached gingival tissues.

Keywords: mucogingival; gingival recessions
