This patient was referred to me by her general dentist for an evaluation of receding gums. I determined that her recession and tooth sensitivity was caused by mechanical trauma, tooth malposition, previous orthodontic treatment, and thin biotype. Multiple teeth had severe recession, and approximately 6 to 8 mm of root structure was exposed. I utilized a donor allograft in order to accomplish root coverage and thicken the gum tissue to decrease the possibility of future recession. The patient healed exceptionally well and without complications. After six weeks, surgical success included 100% root coverage and a thicker gingival tissue that is more resistant to future recession.
