Abstract
Poorly constructed and inadequately fitting mandibular removable partial dentures may be etiologic factors in producing localized lingual gingival recession. Two cases presented show that despite the limitations of access and muscle pull in the lingual mandibular anterior region, both full and partial thickness lingually laterally rotated pedical flaps can be successful in repairing denuded roots by root coverage and by increasing the width of keratinized attached gingiva.
