| Abstract: | Shallow lingual vestibule and lack of keratinized attached mucosa are considered risk factors for the long‐term success of dental implants. This article describes a modified surgical approach accompanied by a free gingival graft to correct the shallow lingual/buccal vestibule and to increase the keratinized tissue around dental implants. |
