What new information is this case providing? The use of a soft tissue alternative of piscine origin that was selected based on the patient's preference to correct bilateral combined mucogingival deformities (recession, lack of KT, and aberrant frenum attachment) around teeth. What is a key step to integrating this soft tissue alternative in clinical practice? The pre-hydration of the soft tissue alternative is preferred, compared to other soft tissue alternatives that might not require hydration (xenograft bovine origin). What are the limitations to success in this case? Confirming with the patient no pre-existing fish allergies.
