The therapeutic approach to gingival recession requires a treatment plan involving basic therapy, which will focus on its etiologies, and the most suitable periodontal plastic surgery therapy in each specific case. Surgical procedures with connective-tissue grafts, taken mainly from the palate, are the gold standard in gingival recession treatment. The aim of this paper is to present the step-by-step post-orthodontic therapy treatment of a case of gingival recession and its long-term evaluation.

Keywords : gingival recession; periodontal plastic surgery; postorthodontic treatment.
