Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with the success of dental therapy.Numerous techniques are advocated for recession coverage. Although, connective tissue graft serves as a gold standard, it requires a second surgical site -a major disadvantage. When aesthetic demand is high and vestibule is shallow, double papilla flap can serve as a potential treatment alternative. The double papilla technique evolved from treating defects where tissues adjacent or apical to the defect alone may be inadequate for grafting purpose.The double papilla technique combines the esthetic results of pedicle graft with the predictability and usefulness of free gingival graft making it an effective and predictable method of obtaining esthetic root coverage.
