Introduction: Gingival recession is characterized by the apical migration of the gingival margin, exposing the root surface. Cosmetic treatments have become an integral part of periodontal treatment. One of the commonly used aesthetic periodontal procedures is covering of denuded root surface. The indications to cover the root surface exposed by gingival recession include aesthetic, root sensitivity, prevention and management of root caries and prevention of periodontal disease progression in areas where oral hygiene cannot be maintained properly.
