Popis: Key Clinical Message A successful management of a mandibular recession with creeping attachment using free gingival graft. This case highlights the “wait‐and‐see” approach in the treatment plan, emphasizing the root coverage. Abstract This clinical report describes the case of a 23‐year‐old female patient with gingival recession of the mandibular left central incisor. The patient's symptoms included hypersensitivity and cosmetic improvements. After thorough examination, the patient was diagnosed with plaque‐induced gingivitis on a reduced periodontium with acquired mucogingival deformities. Gingival recession was classified as Miller class II or Cairo Recession Type 1. The treatment plan consisted of a nonsurgical phase, followed by a surgical phase using a free gingival graft. The surgical procedure involved harvesting the graft from the palatal mucosa and placing it in the recipient site. Post‐operative care and instructions were provided and a comprehensive follow‐up schedule was established. At the 12‐month evaluation, the patient exhibited healthy periodontal conditions with creeping attachment and complete root coverage. The success of the treatment approach demonstrates its effectiveness in addressing hypersensitivity and cosmetic concerns, while improving periodontal health. Factors influencing the achievement of creeping attachment are discussed, including recession width, graft position, bone support, tooth position, patient hygiene, graft thickness, and root surface treatment.
