Abstract

One of the major dental esthetic and functional problem that occurs frequently in patients is due to gingival recession which is the apical shifting of the gingival margin from its normal position, ultimately leading to exposure of the root surface along with pain, sensitivity, plaque retention, gingivitis, loss of attachment, and root caries posing a challenge for the clinicians. This case report presents a case of total root coverage with laterally positioned flap technique for the treatment of recession defect in mandibular tooth with complete remission of dentine hypersensitivity and excellent esthetic and functional outcomes.
