Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A case series study on ten patients with lack of keratinization in the non-esthetic area .the purpose of the study is the evaluation of using the titanium tacks in free gingival graft fixation as an alternative to the conventional suturing techniques or the tissue adhesives.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A case series study conducted on 10 patients with lack of keratinization in the non- esthetic areas for clinical evaluation of the effeciancy of the titanium tacks in free gingival graft fixation in terms of the amount of the graft shrinkage through out a six months follow up period . the records will be taken through imagej software for comparing the graft surface area at 1 , 3 and six months .
