Intervention1: Minimally invasive buccal roll technique: The procedure will be performed under local anesthesia in both the groups, in the test group a split thickness flap will be outlined according

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: No systemic diseases or pregnancy. No probing depths >= 5mm. Full-mouth plaque score (FMPS) and full mouth bleeding score (FMBS) (measured at four sites per tooth). Need of soft tissue augmentation in mandibular posterior sites to maintain the natural ridge contour and increase the thickness of tissue buccolingually. No previous soft tissue augmentation procedure at experimental site.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Disease affecting connective tissue metabolism Pregnant or lactating women Untreated periodontal disease. Dental implants previously uncovered or applied with a single -stage procedure. No residual keratinized tissue (KT) at experimental area. Radiographs revealing presence of bone on the cover screw.
