In determining where to place a crown margin in the presence of gingival recession, soft tissue grafting would cover the root completely and allow crown margin placement at the new gingival level, thus providing ideal esthetics. However, complete root coverage is not always possible. Complete root coverage is highly predictable only at sites without loss of interdental tissue according to the Miller Classification. If there is loss of interdental tissue fill, only partial root coverage can be expected.
