Abstract

Various surgical techniques have been proposed to obtain predictable and esthetic root coverage. In general, these techniques may include the use of pedicle soft tissue grafts, free soft tissue grafts, and soft tissue graft substitutes. Overall, these surgical procedures have been shown to be safe, effective, and well-tolerated by the patients. However, as with any surgical procedure, complications and treatment failures can occur. Therefore, the clinician should have a thorough knowledge of potential complications associated with these procedures and strategies for their prevention and management. This chapter provides an overview of the most common complications and atypical healing responses related to different root coverage procedures.
