Root coverage (RC) procedures have long been used for the treatment of gingival recession (GR). During daily practice, clinicians are required to deal with diverse clinical scenarios and to provide the most adequate treatment options for each particular condition based on the best evidence available, the clinician’s skills, and the patients’ desires.

This lecture aims to:
- Comment on the main factors influencing the predictability of root coverage procedures according to the different patient-, procedure- and outcome-related factors.

- Translate evidence-based findings on soft tissue (RC) of recession-type defects to daily practice, by presenting an overview of treatment approaches to the main “clinical scenarios”
