Generalized or localized gingival recession can be caused by periodontal disease, improper flossing, aggressive tooth brushing, incorrect occlusal relationships, and dominant roots. Gingival recession remains one of the main esthetic concern for the patient. Various procedures have been employed for the management of gingival recessions. The present case report employs the use of an Acellular Dermal Matrix Allograft (Alloderm®) to increase the width of attached gingival.
