What is the Safety Zone for palatal soft tissue graft harvesting based upon the locations of the Greater Palatine Artery and Foramen? A systematic review

Palatal soft tissue graft harvesting is a common procedure in periodontal and implant dentistry. However, most of the complications following this procedure are associated with the underestimation of anatomical structures, such as the greater palatine artery (GPA). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to provide guidelines for a safety palatal harvesting.
