Various techniques have been incorporated in the field of periodontics for recession coverage, out of which Periosteal Pedicle Technique stands at the forefront presenting a paradigm shift in addressing gingival recession. This innovative surgical approach harnesses the regenerative potential of the periosteum, utilizing it as a pedicle graft to enhance the coverage of exposed tooth roots. Offering a unique blend of esthetic refinement and functional restoration, this technique holds immense promise in elevating the standard of care for patients experiencing gingival recession. Cells in the periosteum can differentiate into skeletal myocytes, chondrocytes, fibroblasts, adipocytes, and osteoblasts at any age. Bone and cementum, which contains periodontal ligament fibers, are made by these cells. No research has looked at the use of periosteum for gingival recession deformities, despite the fact that its osteogenic potential has attracted a lot of interest as a grafting material for the repair of bone and joint abnormalities. In this case series, two patients with in the age group of 42 years and 36 years respectively diagnosed with Miller’s class I and class II recession defects in maxillary & mandibular anterior teeth without any periapical pathology were selected. Periosteal pedicle graft technique was planned as the treatment protocol for isolated recession defects in both patients. In this case series, we delve into the intricacies of the Periosteal Pedicle Technique, exploring its clinical applications and the potential transformative impact it holds in periodontal therapy.
