[Free grafts of attached and papillary gingiva].
In order to evaluate both attached and papillary gingiva as donor site for free gingival graft, 22 patients were operated and controlled 1, 3, 6 and 24 months postoperatively. The initial topography of donor sites encountered only transitory modifications. A better transplant color (when compared with transplant from the palate), the absence of palatal wound, the fixation of the graft with cyanoacrylate, the absence of sutures and periodontal pack not only reduced the operative time by more as the half but also contributed to a less painfull and more aggreable postoperative result.
