Over the years, several surgical techniques have been proposed to treat various gingival recession defects. In cases of isolated recession defects, the most commonly employed techniques are the coronally advanced flap, laterally repositioned flap, free gingival autografts and pedicle grafts. Among the pedicle grafts, the choice of using a double papilla repositioned flap is considered ideal when the tissue at the adjacent donor site is adequate. The use of wide papillae on either side of the defect, helps in precise flap approximation and dual blood supply. The use of platelet concentrates as an adjunct to various techniques such as double papillae for root coverage may aid in better tissue healing and repair. One such platelet concentrate discovered recently is the “concentrated growth factor” (CGF). This case report demonstrates the use of a double papilla repositioned flap technique along with CGF, that achieved optimal results in treating an isolated Miller’s class I gingival recession defect.
