📝Abstract

Periodontal plastic surgery mainly establishing an ideal pink aesthetics through soft tissue reconstruction of gingival recessions. Transplantation of autogenous soft tissue grafts are considered a gold standard treatment modality for coverage of gingival recession defects with predictable and aesthetic outcomes. Hence various surgical techniques are used in combination with such grafts for gingival recession coverage. This case report presents a treated case of Miller's Class II gingival recession defect in relation to maxillary right second premolar with adequate root coverage as well as increase in keratinized gingiva using Tarnow's technique with Stabilizing sutures.

KEYWORDS: Gingival recession, Tarnow's technique, Root coverage, Pink aesthetics
