title: Gingival recession: part 2. Surgical management using pedicle grafts.
abstract: This paper is the second in a three part series looking at the aetiology and management of gingival recession. Part one discussed the aetiology and non-surgical management and this part aims to discuss the use of pedicle soft tissue grafts in the treatment of gingival recession. This article also considers the factors affecting the outcome of surgical procedures used to treat localised recession defects. The third paper in this series will consider the use of free soft tissue grafts and guided tissue regeneration.
