When changing a gingival biotype i required along with covering an exposed root, a connective tissue graft surgery is required. Several techniques, for covering single and mutiple recessions and for harvesting soft tissue from the palate, are available.The course will illustrate different surgical procedures in different clinical situations in order to achieve predictable results in root coverage. Adverse effects ,especially on the palatal site. will be discussed and procedures to turn them in successful healing will be proposed.
