Background:
The periosteum is a highly cellular connective tissue with rich vascularity and regenerative potential. These qualities make it a suitable autogenous graft. A technique utilizing autogenous periosteal pedicle graft (PPG) for the treatment of gingival recession defects is described.
Methods:
Four patients with Miller Class I and II recessions > or = 3 mm were treated utilizing PPG.
Results:
At the end of one year, all defects were completely covered.
Conclusions:
The PPG technique can be used for the treatment of gingival recession defects successfully.
