Abstract
Many root coverage techniques, such as lateral pedicle flap, double papilla flap, free gingival graft, connective tissue graft, and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedure have been widely applied in clinical dental practice. Although they all provide various degrees of successful root coverage, some procedures are technique-sensitive and others require a 2-stage operation.
