Abstract
Mucogingival problems are associated with recession of gingival margin, shallow vestibular depth, and gingival margin pull by aberrant frenum. Till now, various individualistic and successful surgical techniques have been described in the literature for mucogingival problems. These case series enumerate the gingival recession cases, managed by bridge flap technique using diode laser which is a single-step procedure to cover the earlier exposed root surfaces and extend the width of the attached gingiva. Postsurgical parameters were recorded at 6 months and 1 year.
