📝Abstract

Gingival recession is dened as the displacement and destruction of the soft tissue margin apical to cementoenamel junction. To minimize incision and reection of aps, Pouch and Tunnel technique can be used which also helps to provide abundant blood supply to the donor connective tissue into the pouch beneath papillary tunnels as well as allows intimate contact of donor tissue to the recipient site.
