Comparison of two different techniques for deepithelialization: a split-mouth case series.

Despite the wide use and broad variety of commonly applied techniques of graft deepithelialization, the present authors assume that full excisions with the use of a blade are hardly ever achieved. Despite the unpredictable retrieval of epithelium by blade, graft handling and graft regularity can be proposed as the biggest advantages. On the other hand, the presented novel in situ deepithelialization with a round bur seems to be more predictable.
