ABSTRACT
Gingival and periodontal diseases have afflicted humans since the dawn of history. One of the most common esthetic and functional concerns associated with periodontal tissues is marginal tissue recession. About 75% of 30- and 31-year-old individuals exhibit gingival recession, mainly at facial surfaces. Various techniques have been introduced to the field of cosmetic periodontology since Grupe and Warren first described the “lateral positioned flap” to improve the appearance of one’s smile and boost confidence. Here, we present a case of sub epithelial connective tissue graft, one of the most versatile microsurgical procedures with a 65-98 mean percentage of root coverage, where limitation factors include amount of avascular root surface and interdental periodontal attachment levels.
