Soft tissue grafting is helpful in the treatment of gum recession. The major concern of this technique is to cover the exposed root or to thicken the gum tissue to avoid further tissue loss.

It is a surgical periodontal technique that aims to cover the exposed roots of an affected tooth with grafted oral tissue.
- Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is usually recommended for ensuring restoration whenever the jawbone recedes or a significant damage occurs. It is much closer to dental restorations.
- Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™)
It is used to stabilize the area of gum recession by making a small hole in the gum with the help of instruments and adding a collagen material. It is simple and minimally invasive type of surgery. It was developed by John Chao.
