Abstract
Gingival recession, which is the apical displacement of the gingival margin that leads to the root exposure, can be brought on by periodontal disease, traumatising tooth brushing habit, and a number of other predisposing factors. Procedures for root coverage are advised to improve aesthetics, lessen sensitivity, and enhance plaque control. The free gingival graft is one of the widely utilised therapeutic technique for achieving root coverage and augmenting the width of attached gingiva. The current case series explains the treatment of gingival recession by using a free gingival graft in the mandibular anterior region.
