title: Modified Approach of Double Papillae Laterally Positioned Flap Technique using Alloderm® for Root Coverage.
abstract: Cosmetic concern is on increase in dental patients these days resulting in more demand for periodontal plastic surgical procedures. Gingival recession is one of the common problems which impairs aesthetic and may result in hypersensitivity and increase chances of root caries. Several plastic procedures are available to correct the defect. Double papilla laterally positioned flap combined with Alloderm has been used to cover single tooth class I recession site as adequate width of keratinized gingiva is present on adjacent teeth. The technique has resulted in 80% of root coverage.
