ABSTRACT
Periodontal plastic surgery aims at establishing an ideal pink aesthetics through soft tissue reconstruction of gingival recessions. Transplantation of autogenous soft tissue grafts are considered a gold standard treatment modality for coverage of gingival recession defects with predictable and aesthetic outcomes. Hence various surgical techniques are used in combination with such grafts for gingival recession coverage. This case report presents a treated case of Miller’s Class I gingival recession defect in relation to mandibular central incisor with adequate root coverage as well as increase in keratinized gingiva using free soft tissue gingival graft harvested from hard palate.
