[A modified technique for expanding the attached keratinized gingiva zone using a free gingival graft "Danilov`s medallions"].

On a clinical example a modified technique for increasing the width of the attached keratinized gingiva zone is presented by taking medallions of a free gingival graft 1.5-2 mm thick from the hard palate using 5 mm mucotomes and transplanting them into the gum defect zones with a simultaneous vestibular deepening in the lateral regions of the jaws. This technology has been tested over a 5-year period with long-term clinical results.
