Gingival recession is the most common mucogingival defect, characterized by apical migration of the gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction and  hence there is root exposure. This may lead to lot of problems such as tooth sensitivity, mobility,risk of caries below gumline and also aesthetically unpleasing.  Root coverage may be achieved by a number of surgical techniques.Here we present a case of the coronally advanced flap technique  for root coverage with Millers class I type of  recession. This technique offers the advantage of a single surgical site, less patient discomfort and predictable root coverage with good colour match.
