Case #218 : Gingival Transplant

History of present complaints (HPC): Mucogingival deformity.
Clinical presentation upper dentition: Moderate periodontal biotype, generalised gingival recession, excessive exposed root surfaces.
Diagnosis: Gingival Recession Type 1/2; Recession depth: 3mm-5mm; Gingival thickness: 1mm; keratinized tissue width: 1mm-4mm; Cementoenamel junction: Class A (detectable CEJ); Root surface concavity: Class + (presence of cervical step: > 0.5 mm).
