Double Papillary Flap – A Treatment for Gingival Recession: Case Series

Abstract

Esthetic concerns of the patients have become an essential part of dentistry, especially periodontics. Periodontal plastic surgery is a rapidly emerging field, which helps us to meet this criterion. Marginal tissue recession can cause the major functional and esthetic problems. It has been clinically related to higher incidence of root caries, attachment loss, root sensitivity and smile related concerns. Root coverage is being achieved by a variety of techniques namely pedicle grafts and free soft-tissue grafts. This paper highlights on case series in which a double papillary flap technique has been used for root coverage.
