Abstract

Esthetic concerns of the patient have become an essential part of dentistry, especially periodontics. Periodontal plastic surgery is a rapidly emerging field which helps us to meet this criterion. Root coverage can be achieved by various techniques namely pedicle grafts and free soft tissue grafts. This article highlights a case report in which subepithelial connective tissue has been used for root coverage.
