Coronal positioning of a previously placed autogenous gingival graft.
A procedure has been presented, with indications and necessary precautions, for predictably covering the denuded root surfaces of canines and premolars. The results of treating other areas with this technique have been less predictable. An alternate technique for covering denude root surfaces of the same teeth has been described. The alternate technique is more difficult to carry out and the results achieved are not as favorable.
