Epithelial inclusion cyst at de-epithelialized gingival graft site: A cautionary case study.

A 44-year-old man developed an epithelial inclusion cyst nine months after receiving a de-epithelialized gingival graft for root coverage, which was surgically removed with minimal recession but some scarring observed at follow-up. The authors suggest that complete epithelial cell removal from palatal grafts may be unattainable and recommend further research to clarify whether this graft type carries increased complication risk.
