Brief Summary   This study is a randomized, outcome assessor blinded, parallel group, single center trial comparing the efficacy of 0.1 ml of injectable hyaluronic acid filler on one side, injected just below the mucogingival junction  and 0.1 ml of injectable hyaluronic acid filler with micro-needling using 30 gauge lancet needle which is inserted until hard tissue is felt on the keratinized gingiva from mesial side of the central incisor to the distal part of canine on other side after initial scaling 1 week prior to the commencement of the interventional study in patient with thin gingival biotype with <0.8mm of gingival thickness. The primary outcome is to assess the thickness of the keratinized gingiva after 15 days, 1 month, 2 month and 3 months after the treatment.
