Abstract

Treating gingival recessions is important to satisfy the functional and aesthetic needs of the patients. Among various available techniques to treat gingival recessions, the subepithelial connective tissue graft technique is still considered to be the best despite its inherent disadvantages. The recent innovation utilising periosteum as a pedicle graft to treat gingival recession defects has drawn considerable attention and may provide a viable alternative to subepithelial connective tissue graft.

Keywords: Periosteal pedicle graft; Gingival; Recession; Connective tissue; Graft

Core tip: The periosteal pedicle graft (PPG) is an emerging technique to treat gingival recession defects and has advantages over subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG). The technique not only provides a viable treatment option to manage gingival recessions without involving two surgical sites and additional cost but also produced results which have raised the question whether PPG can replace SCTG in near future?
