Abstract
Mucogingival problems are developmental and acquired aberrations in the morphology, position, and/or the amount of gingiva surrounding teeth. According to an academic report by American Academy of Periodontology, mucogingival therapy should be advocated for gingival augmentation and to create adequate vestibular depth in areas with insufficient attached gingiva. This paper provides an overview on mucogingival surgical procedures from its inception to the current time.
