Abstract
Gingival recession is a common mucogingival
problem characterized by the apical displacement of the gingival margin,
leading to root exposure. Various surgical techniques have been developed to
achieve predictable root coverage. The double papilla flap technique,
introduced to utilize adjacent interdental tissues for coverage, is
particularly useful in localized recession defects. This case report presents
the successful management of Miller’s Class I gingival recession in the
maxillary first premolar region using the double papilla flap technique. The
postoperative results were satisfactory with significant root coverage, good
color blend, and healthy gingival contour. The technique proved to be minimally
invasive, effective, and esthetically pleasing.
