After the positioning of the graft with the flap moved to the incisor, the
gingival margin was repositioned (Figures 13(a) and 13(b)), the crown was removed, the critical and subcritical area of the emergency profile was resized (Figures 14(a) and 14(b)), and the suspensory suture was made in the papillae and in the center of the margin and fixed directly to the acrylic crown with flow resin (Opallis, FGM) for better tissue stability.

gingival margin gap formation," Operative Dentistry, vol.
Gingival thickness of each tooth was measured at the apical from free
gingival margin and coronal from mucogingival junction (Figure 2).
Even though a large debate exists on the etiology of gingival recession, many factors were related to the initiation and development of the apical migration of the
gingival margin [4, 5].
The lesion starts at the interdental papilla, spreads along the
gingival margin if untreated.
In instances when the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) may lie apical to the
gingival margin, the exact location for the purpose of measurement becomes subjective, and negative recession needs to be recorded which is often not done or possible with digital recording systems.
Gingival recession, is defined as apical shift of
gingival margin towards cementoenamel junction and consequently results in tooth root surface exposure.
A transparent strip was tightened and held by finger pression against the
gingival margin of the cavity so that the preparation could not de overfilled at the
gingival margin.
A uniquely shaped tapered-bristle manual toothbrush was more effective in the interproximal areas, at the
gingival margin, and subgingivally compared to a toothbrush with bristles uniform in height and diameter [25].
It is the localized swelling on the
gingival margin that constitutes a variety of pathological entities, are either grouped together or excluded (Paulet, 1992).
