a novel single-stage procedure for increasing the width of attached gingiva and eliminating the aberrant frenal attachment

common treatment for buccal gingival recession caused by an aberrant frenal attachment includes elimination of the frenum and treatment of the gingival recession by soft tissue graft to increase the width of the attached gingiva that in turn results in root coverage. keratinised gingival, if present in adequate amount, maintains the gingival health by protecting the marginal gingiva. this not only considers the desires of the patient but also explores the potential regenerative capacity of the tissues. this report describes a novel single-stage procedure for increasing the width of the attached gingiva and eliminating the aberrant frenal attachment.
