The treatment of gingival recession has been a common practice in periodontics for years. As the aesthetic demands of periodontal patients increase, more root coverage procedures will be performed to satisfy their aesthetic demands. Often, the patients present with multiple areas which require treatment. Palatal anatomy may limit the amount of autogenous tissue that can be harvested, thus limiting the number of procedures that can be performed. A patient may not desire to have additional tissue transplanted from the palate, due to increased pain and morbidity which are associated with multiple transplant procedures.
