Treatment of gingival recession with pedicle graft

Noor ul Amin

he objective of this case presentation is to provide an insight on the subject of Gingival Recession and to share the results of

the surgical management of gingival recession (Miller’s class III defect in maxillary pre-molar area). One of the most common

esthetic concerns associated with the periodontal tissues is gingival recession. Gingival recession is the exposure of root surfaces due

to apical migration of the gingival tissue margins; gingival margin migrates apical to the cement-enamel junction. Therefore this

deformity should be treated at its earliest detection. Exposed root surfaces are more likely to develop root sensitivity and root caries.

Among various procedures, laterally positioned pedicle graft (LPG) is widely used successfully to cover recession defects. The main

advantages of the laterally positioned pedicle grafts are that they are relatively easy and not time-consuming, they produce excellent

esthetic results and no second surgical site is involved for donor harvesting. The present case report is about the successful surgical

management of a patient with gingival recession i.e., Miller’s class III defect using laterally positioned pedicle graft.
