Gingival recession is defined as the apical migration of the gingival margin beyond the cemento-enamel junction, exposing the root surface. It is a common clinical condition that may be associated with esthetic concerns, root sensitivity and increased risk of root caries. There are various types of treatments for gingival recession, both non-surgical and surgical. In this article, we describe two cases of single gingival recession defect that were successfully treated using a coronally advanced flap (CAF) combined with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG). This approach was selected for both the patients to achieve root coverage, enhance tissue thickness and provide long-term stability. At the six months follow up, maximum root coverage, satisfactory aesthetics and significant clinical attachment gain were observed.
