Abstract

Gingival augmentation procedures are indicated primarily to increase an insufficient amount of gingiva and sometimes to halt the progression of gingival recession. Inadequate or
absence of attached gingival is considered detrimental to periodontal health by many researchers. Individuals with less than optimal oral hygiene practice can be helped by increasing
the width of attached gingiva and vestibular depth, which provide room for easier placement of toothbrush and help to avoid brushing on mucosal tissue. This article puts emphasis on a
case report where management of gingival recession and decreased width of attached gingiva was done by free mucosal graft with encouraging results.
