The techniques used for the root coverage are based on tissue displacement either by displacement flap or by subepithelial connective tissue grafting (SCTG).&#13;
Case Presentation: In the present case report, a 38 years old, healthy male patient reported to the clinic with bilateral class I gingival recession on the buccal aspect of maxillary canines and premolars. The patient used a medium bristle toothbrush with horizontal strokes for oral hygiene maintenance. The depth of gingival recession was measured 2-3 mm from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). After scaling and root planning correct brushing technique was advised to the patient. The main objective of the treatment was to cover the exposed root surfaces to improve esthetics and reduce dentinal hypersensitivity. According to the treatment plan, the 1stquadrant was treated by a coronally advanced flap (CAF) and the 2nd quadrant by CAF+SCTG.&#13;
Results and Conclusion: One-year post-operative evaluation revealed uneventful healing at both surgical sites. Almost 80 % and 100% root coverage was reported at the 1st and 2nd quadrant respectively. In the present case, CAF+SCTG showed a favourable outcome for root coverage and hypersensitivity compared to CAF alone.&#13;
