Abstract

Insufficient keratinized tissue adversely impacts oral hygiene, potentially leading to gingival inflammation and recession. A young female patient presented at the dental clinic with localized gingival recession in the lower anterior tooth region, accompanied by challenges in maintaining adequate oral hygiene. A modified technique that involved a free gingival graft was executed. Subsequently, the patient underwent a 3-month follow-up, during which the gingival margin level was reevaluated. Coronal regrowth of the gingival margin was observed, even though the marginal gingiva had not been directly manipulated during the periodontal surgical intervention.
