The aim of the study is to clinically and radiographically evaluate and compare two techniques to augment soft tissues: the conventional subepithelial connective tissue graft technique and a novel denuded interpositional pedicled rolled flap technique (DIPRF) These techniques will be used to augment edentulous ridges that are recommended for rehabilitation by an implant or a fixed restoration.

3. Patient's with Seibert classification class I requiring future rehabilitation of one or more premolar region and sound adjacent teeth.
4. Soft tissue thickness on the palatal tissues more than 6mm at the site of harvesting the graft.
5. Presence of Mandibular posterior teeth opposing the tooth to be replaced for occlusion.
