Soft tissue augmentation procedures are becoming more popular these days. Different soft tissue graft harvesting approaches have been proposed. Nonetheless, the location of the donor site (whether anterior-, lateral-, superficial-, deep-palate or the maxillary tuberosity) can affect the graft shape ...
The least amount of bone thickness in the maxilla is reported to be in the tuberosity area.51 Placement protocols on the anterior facial provides vertical control for theanterior teethfor both direct and indirect applications.Radiographic examinationis required for the best location within the interrad...

Considering the biological properties of L-PRF and its ability to increase soft tissue thickness [27,28,29,30], we chose maxillary tuberosity as the CTG harvesting site due to its histological characteristics—the richness of the lamina propria and the scarcity of submucosa—to design a randomized...
