The mixed epithelial-connective tissue graft is a soft tissue graft harvested from the palate,  which combines a zone of Keratinised epithelium together with a wider base of connective tissue.

This way the mixed draft is a combination of the three gingival graft and the connective tissue graft.

Such a graft has certain advantages at the recipient site:
- it can increase the width of the keratinised mucosa at the recipient side, while at the same time augment the volume of the soft tissue.

Also through the fixation zone - which is enveloped in  a split thickness flap at the recipient side -  it can increase stability and vascularization of the graft.

In this video we will follow the procedure of harvesting a mixed tissue graft from the palate. This  is to be later   fixated on the recipient side buccally of a mandibular implant.

The recipient site is  prepared with a split thickness , apically repositioned flap .

Harvesting of the graft will combine direct incisions around the keratinised part with split thickness incision in order to undermine the tissue and excise the connective tissue only part of the graft.
