We describe two patients (aged 58 and 42\u2009years) in whom EF was excised and vestibuloplasty performed using a free gingival graft (FGG) harvested from the excised lesion itself. In Case 1, a hyperplastic fold of the maxillary anterior alveolar mucosa was removed, the incision apically repositioned, and the thinned, deepithelialized graft immobilized over the periosteum. In Case 2, peri\u2010implant hyperplastic tissue was excised and the graft, prepared using the accordion technique, was positioned around the healing abutments. Case 1 was followed up at 2 and 10\u2009months and Case 2 at 2\u2009months; healing was uneventful in both, with a clinically adequate band of keratinized mucosa and stable vestibular depth at each visit. Within the limitations of this short\u2010follow\u2010up two\u2010case report, using the lesion itself as the graft source provided acceptable keratinized mucosa and vestibular depth. Larger prospective studies with 12\u201324\u2010month follow\u2010up are warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.73554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T04:44:32Z","timestamp":1790225072000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Treatment of Epulis Fissuratum Using an In\u00a0Situ Harvested Free Gingival Graft: A Case Series and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Seyedsaeid","family":"Mahdizadeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics, School of Dentistry Mashhad University of Medical Sciences  Mashhad Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moein","family":"Khojaste","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases Research Center Mashhad University of Medical Sciences  Mashhad Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2569-4518","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Farid","family":"Shiezadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Research Center Mashhad University of Medical Sciences  Mashhad Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3912-1931","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seyedehnahid","family":"Tabatabaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, School of Dentistry Yasuj University of Medical Sciences  Yasuj Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2014.3856"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2013-200054"},{"issue":"21","key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","article-title":"Multidisciplinary Treatment of Epulis Fissuratum: A Case Report","volume":"13","author":"G\u00f3mez L.
