Abstract :

Treatment of gingival recession is being the most challenging task for dentist over the years as clinician is not only required to treat the disease and improve the function but also cope with the ever demanding esthetics of the patients. For achieving this goal, number of techniques have been used in the past including pedicle grafting, free connective and epithelial tissue grafts, PRF,GTR etc.Among these techniques used, coronally advanced flap is widely used successfully to cover Millers class–I and II defects as it is relatively easy and less time consuming with excellent aesthetic results and most importantly no second surgical site is involved as in case of FGG/FCG. This article describes a case report in which coronally advanced flap was used to treat gingival recession successfully.
