Root coverage with lateral pedicle graft: A case report

Abstract

Gingival recession in its localized or generalized form is an undesirable condition resulting in root exposure causes of root hypersensitivity, Shallow root caries lesions, and cervical abrasions. Complete root coverage is primarily indicated for esthetic/cosmetic demands which can be satisfied by soft tissue grafts, the thickness and colour of which should not be distinguishable from those of adjacent soft tissue. This article puts an emphasis on case report in which a lateral pedicle graft technique has been used for root coverage in relation to mandibular right central incisor.
