Abstract
Introduction: Gingival recession (GR) is the location of marginal periodontal tissues apical to the cemento-enamel junction. Treatment of GR can be done by free gingival graft, laterally positioned pedicle flap, coronally displaced flap, and subepithelial connective tissue graft, semilunar coronally repositioned flap (SCRF). The purpose of this case report is to highlight the simplicity of carrying out SCRP procedure and its long-term benefits in case of maxillary gingival recession.
 Methods: Three systemically healthy patients aged 35-43 years reported with chief complaint of unesthetic appearance of teeth. Following full mouth scaling and root planning, patients were scheduled for root coverage procedure. SCRF was performed under local anaesthesia and postoperative instructions were given. Patients were asked to record VAS pain score and number of analgesics consumed for 3 days and recalled on 3rd, 10th day, 1, 3, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively.
 Results: All patients showed complete root coverage for 1 year postoperatively. VAS score showed mild pain for 3 days postoperatively.
 Conclusion: Semilunar coronally advanced flap is an effective, simple and highly acceptable periodontal plastic procedure.
