The rationale for treating buccal recessions are mainly aesthetic concerns, and clinical situations where unfavourable contour of the gingival margin might be an obstacle for proper plaque control. Cairo et al in 2018 categorised GRs into 3 types with reference to interdental clinical attachment loss as RT1, RT2 and RT3. Mid-buccal GRs have root coverage potential through periodontal plasti...
