Description: The use of a pedicle flap to correct a periodontal lesion is demonstrated. Since there was insufficient gingiva present at the site of the lesion, neither the gingivectomy nor apically repositioned flap procedures were indicated. The relocated pedicle flap re-established a sufficient width of gingiva. Two cases are demonstrated.
