Abstract

Root coverage has turned into an essential part to periodontal plastic surgery. It becomes more challenging when there is no attached gingiva with presence of high frenal pull. This article presents a case report of gingival recession in 44 with high buccal frenal pull with complete absence of attached gingiva, which has been treated with frenotomy and coronally positioned flap with LASER. The main advantage of this technique is that it does not need a separate frenotomy procedure and also no second surgical site. The treated case established root coverage with adequate width of attached gingiva.
