Subepithelial connective tissue graft Subepithelial connective tissue graft In dentistry, the subepithelial connective tissue graft (SECT graft, and sometimes referred to simply as a "connective tissue (CT) graft") is an oral and maxillofacial surgical procedure first described by Alan Edel in 1974. Currently, it is generally used to obtain root coverage following gingival recession, which was a later development by Burt Langer in the early 1980s. Similar to the free gingival graft, the SECT graft can be described as a "free autogenous graft". The term "free" describes how the graft is completely removed from the donor site rather than remaining attached via a pedicle.
