The surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia. It begins with an intrasulcular incision at the gingival margin of the recession, followed by 2 mm-long horizontal incisions at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and diverging vertical releasing incisions. A thin partial-thickness flap is raised and excised to prepare the recipient area. A connective tissue pedicle flap is then outlined apical to the exposed root, dissected from the periosteum, flipped, and anchored over the root surface using absorbable sutures. Subsequently, a free gingival graft (1.5-2 mm thick) is harvested from the palatal premolar/molar area. This graft is placed over the recipient site and secured to the periosteum with simple interrupted and cross mattress sutures to ensure complete stability.

Active Ingredients: A novel bioactive saline solution containing calcium chloride and magnesium dichloride hexahydrate. Intraoperative Application: Immediately after harvesting the free gingival graft (1.5-2 mm thickness), 0.5 ml of Theravex Tissue Care Plus is applied to the graft and left to soak for 5 minutes. Recipient Site Treatment: Before placing the graft, 0.5 ml of the solution is applied directly to the prepared recipient site. Postoperative Protocol: Patients perform an immediate post-surgical rinse with 5 ml of Theravex Oral for 30 seconds. Starting the day after surgery, patients rinse twice daily with Theravex Oral for a duration of 2 weeks.
