The periodontal surgery is divided into the resective, the regenerative and the mucogingival surgery, the goals of which are to preserve the attached gingiva, stop recessions and increase the depth of the vestibule. The mucogingival surgery includes soft and hard tissue dental procedures aimed at the augmentation of the gingiva, covering the root surface, the correction of mucosal defects around the implant, the lengthening of the clinical crown, the preservation of the gingiva at the sites of ectopic eruption, frenectomy, frenotomy, the prevention of the dental ridge collapse after the extraction and augmentation of the edentulous ridge. These procedures are of secondary importance for periodontal health. The reason for their increasingly frequent usage is the desire of dental patients to cover up even the smallest irregularities in the oral cavity. Because of such aesthetic reasons, the coverage of gingival recessions is the most often carried out procedure nowadays. Thanks to the development of periodontology, their coverage is possible with various methods. Studies have shown that the use of a connective tissue graft with a coronally advanced flap technique resulted in the best long-term stability. Many factors play a big role in the quality of long-term results, some of which are oral hygiene, aging, a proper brushing technique, the width of the keratinized gingiva, and a lack of interdental periodontal tissue before the procedure itself. The purpose of this paper is to examine which technique gives the best results and to see if they are sustainable over a long period of time.
