One-stage regenerative therapy combined with a free gingival graft can simultaneously address both soft tissue deficiency and intrabony defects, offering a practical alternative to traditional staged approaches. Preservation of the periosteum without vertical or periosteal-releasing incisions may promote vascular integrity and wound stability during periodontal regenerative procedures. This technique may reduce total treatment time and surgical burden while maintaining favorable clinical outcomes in select cases.
