RESUMEN
One of the most common esthetic concerns associated with the periodontal tissues is gingival recession. Gingival recession is the exposure of root surfaces due to apical migration of the gingival tissue margins;gingival margin migrates apical to the cement-enamel junction,Therefore this deformity should be treated at its earliest detection. Exposed root surfaces are more likely to develop root sensitivity and root caries. Among various procedures, laterally positioned pedicle graft [LPG] is widely used successfully to cover recession defects. The main advantages of the laterally positioned pedicle graft are that it is relatively easy and not time-consuming, it produces excellent esthetic results and no second surgical site is involved for donor harvesting. The Present case report is about the successful surgical management of a patient with gingival recession i.e., Miller's class III defect using laterally positioned pedicle graft
