Abstract
One of the chief goals of periodontal plastic surgery is establishment of ideal pink esthetics through the reconstruction of gingival recessions. A gold standard treatment approach for coverage of gingival recession with predictable esthetic outcomes is the transplantation of autogenous soft tissue grafts. Various surgical techniques can be used in combination with autogenous soft tissue grafts for gingival recession coverage.

Summary
Surgical approaches for gingival recession coverage using autogenous soft tissue grafts. Surgical techniques in combination with free gingival graft (FGG) and partly-epithelialized free gingival graft (PE-FGG). Surgical techniques used in combination with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and epithelialized-subepithelial connective tissue graft (ESCTG) for single gingival recession coverage. It was initially described as a cosmetic periodontics-coronally repositioned pedicle graft. Indicated for perfect color matching and avoidance of scar lines, when used in combination with SCTG for gingival recession coverage in esthetically demanding areas. Provides predictable root coverage in multiple Miller’s class I, II, III gingival recession defects
