Abstract Root coverage procedures are predictable but are often complicated by an inappropriate case selection. Root coverage is a challenge and limited cases have been reported in literature.

When performing routine periodontal therapy. The root coverage and the periodontal therapy helped the patient get relieved of his complaint of dentinal hypersensitivity and breath malodor.
