Abstract:
The laterally positioned flap has shown itself to be the most predictable and esthetically successful procedure in the treatment of mucogingival defects such as gingival/periodontal recessions and root exposures. It is of utmost importance that the biologic principles of wound healing, which have been discussed in the literature and this article, should be adhered to prior to, during, and after the surgical procedure.
