Popis: BACKGROUND The sites with deeper periodontal pockets showed greater postoperative gingival recession. The purpose of this study was to correlate the gingival recession following the periodontal flap surgery with the amount of bone loss at the treated site and to propose a prediction chart of post -operative gingival recession based on certain clinical parameters. METHODS A total of 120 sites in patients with chronic and aggressive periodontitis were treated with flap surgery. Clinical parameters such as probing pocket depth (PPD), recession depth (RD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post-surgery. The extent of bone loss in the surgical site was measured in digital radiographs (RVG) at baseline. The prediction chart for post-operative recession depth was prop osed based on the amount of bone loss in surgical site and the clinical parameters. RESULTS The difference in mean PPD, CAL and gingival recession depth from baseline to 1 month, 3 month and 6 months was statistically significant. Out of 120 sites, 38 sites with the bone loss of 3-5 mm showed increase in gingival recession from baseline (0.89 mm ± 0.924 mm) to 6 months (1.47 mm ± 0.979) post-surgery. The difference was statistically significant (p
