This patient presented with extensive recession on the lingual of his mandibular anterior teeth. This is a difficult area to complete a CTG; many periodontists choose not to do lingual grafts because of the mobility of floor of the mouth, the tendency of patients to disrupt the graft, and the difficulty of access during surgery. That said, when done well, it is a helpful technique to prevent the loss of lower incisors. In this case, the patient healed very well and the teeth are now stable.
