Abstract
Aesthetic considerations have influenced the management of dental maladies in
varying degrees for many years. For many years the goals of periodontal surgery have
been determined by functional aspects only. During recent years periodontal surgery has
shifted its focus from achieving more functional goals toward a combination of both good
functional and esthetic results. While accomplishing the best possible functional result,
esthetics should not only be maintained, but also enhanced. Sometimes the esthetic
outcome is the only important factor and function becomes secondary (e.g. treatment of
recessions or the creation of papillae). Predictability becomes the key word in this type of
periodontal surgery. Patient awareness and expectations have increased recently to the
point that less than optimal esthetics is no longer an acceptable outcome. Periodontal
plastic surgery would accordingly be defined as ―surgical procedures performed to
prevent or correct anatomic, developmental, traumatic or disease induced defects in the
gingiva, alveolar mucosa or bone‖.The present chapter is presenting and discussing the
clinical outcomes of several root coverage techniques: pedicle soft tissue grafts, rotational
flaps, coronally advanced flap, semilunar flap, free soft tissue graft, nonsubmerged grafts,
submerged grafts etc.
