Gingival recession is a matter of concern for both patients and dental professionals, especially when exposure of the root surface is linked to deterioration in esthetic appearance and increase in dental hypersensitivity which provoked to propose various surgical techniques that have been used to correct labial/buccal gingival recession defects including periodontal plastic surgery. The goal of these surgical procedures is to correct the recession defects and remove or control the etiologic factors that result in mucogingival problems including free gingival autografts,laterally and coronally positioned flap, semilunar flap, guided tissue regeneration(GTR), subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and combination of procedures.
