It is a challenge in the presence of a high frenal pull and inadequate attached gingiva. This article reports a case of gingival recession, which has been treated with double lateral sliding bridge flap. The main advantages of this technique are that it doesn__ampersandsignrsquo;t require a separate frenectomy procedure and it can be used to cover multiple gingival recession defects, without a second surgical site. The treated case demonstrated adequate root coverage and increase in width of the attached gingiva at three months follow-up.&#13;
