Abstract
Gingival recession is defined as Displacement of soft tissue margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction. The esthetic demand together with reduction of root sensitivity and management of root caries or cervical abrasion are the main indication for root coverage. The root coverage procedure is quite predictable and also produces patient satisfaction. This paper reports a case of 55yr old male with a root coverage procedure has been discussed below.

Autogenous gingival grafting/ epithelized free gingival grafting is a well established pure mucogingival procedure for increasing the width of attached gingiva.The procedure has proven reliable in increasing attached gingiva and stopping the progressive recession[2]
