Abstract

Gingival recession is defined as apical migration of gingival margin in relation to cement enamel junction. The laterally repositioned flap is used to cover denuded root surface that has adequate donor tissue laterally as well as adequate vestibular depth. This article highlights the use of laterally repositioned flap for the management of localized Miller's Class II gingival recession. An excellent esthetic outcome was achieved and patient was satisfied with case resolution.
