Abstract
A rotation flap for covering denuded single root surfaces with attached gingiva has been described and illustrated. This was performed utilizing a closed wound technique. The single flap provided attached gingiva coverage for a moderate area while a double flap provided coverage for a larger area. Although more attached gingiva is required from the donor site than for the laterally positioned or sliding flap, the technique may be performed where a moderate degree of attached gingiva is available.Keywords
