Surgical coverage of exposed root surfaces is one of the most common treatments in plastic periodontal surgery. The review describes established recession coverage including the application of coronal and lateral advanced flaps, soft tissue grafts as well as their combinations and tunneling procedures. Patient-related, defect-orientated and technique-based factors will be addressed that mainly influence the success of root coverage and, therefore, should be considered in pre-surgical treatment planning. An indication scheme presents differential indications of the most important techniques depending on clinical parameters.
