The pre-clinical periodontal surgical techniques are an essential module in the postgraduate program in periodontology. Current methods used for practical purpose is costly and unsustainable. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using fruits and vegetables as an alternative mode of practice exercise for a student to develop periodontal surgical skills and techniques before be done on the patient and to assess the suitability of certain types of fruits and vegetables for a specific pre-clinical periodontal procedure. Eleven periodontology residents participated in this study. Lectures, video presentations, and demonstrations on suturing, flap access procedure, soft tissue grafting, and split-thickness incision techniques were given to the participants. A crossover study design was done whereby the participants were allocated randomly to practice techniques on banana peels, orange, and tomato. Specifically, suturing on banana peels; harvesting soft tissue graft on orange and split-thickness incision mimicking mucogingival surgery on tomato access flap. A Likert-style survey was distributed to participants before and after the exercise to evaluate their feedback of using banana, orange, and tomato as an alternative mode of practical exercise for the pre-surgical module. Data was managed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Macintosh, Version 28.0.0.0 (190). Following training, practise harvesting FGG on orange skin (p= 0.015) and participants confidence with materials when compared pre and post-test were significant (p=0.007). Participants were very satisfied and gained excellent pre-clinical surgical practice exposure. The selected fruits were suitable for use as periodontal surgical procedures in preparation for the residents to attain the necessary skills before attending to their patients.
