Subepithelial connective tissue graft of SECT grafts for increasing the zone of keratinized tissue.

At the donor site, Edel described three methods for choosing and preparing the donor site to obtain connective tissue for the SECT graft: Contrary to the donor site for a free gingival graft, the surgeon is able to achieve primary closure at the donor site for a SECT. Langer later described the SECT as a method
