Which is the most common donor site for both Free Gingival Grafts (FGG) and Connective Tissue Grafts (CTG)?

  1. Palate

  2. Arm

  3. Thigh

  4. Abdomen

The correct answer is: Palate

The most common donor site for both Free Gingival Grafts (FGG) and Connective Tissue Grafts (CTG) is the palate. This is because the palate has a similar tissue composition to the gums, making it an ideal donor site. Options B, C, and D, are not common donor sites for FGG and CTG as they do not have the same tissue composition as the gums, which could lead to complications and poor healing. Additionally, these areas may also be more painful and difficult to harvest from, compared to the palate.
