Summary:Treating gingival recession defects is one of the goals of periodontal therapy, and the efficacy of the various techniques is important considerations for determining success in such cases. Various techniques have been advocated for recession coverage and to increase the width of attached gingiva. In spite of these numerous techniques, a graft which has its own blood supply, can be harvested adjacent to the recession defect was the long term need of periodontists. Periosteum is a highly vascular connective tissue, with abundant regeneration potential.
