Gingival recession is a common finding in periodontics. Clinically, it consists of root exposure caused by apical displacement of the gingival margin in the cement-enamel junction. Recession may be localized, affecting only a tooth or group of teeth, or widespread, affecting the entire mouth. Its etiology is related to several factors, such as bacterial plaque, position of the teeth in the arch, incorrect brushing, traumatic occlusion, high frenum insertion or muscle insertions, narrow gingival area and lip pressure, among others. The goal of periodontal treatment is to regenerate the periodontium. Therefore, it became evident during the last decade that several procedures have the potential to regenerate not only gingival recession by increasing the width and height of the inserted or keratinized gums, but also to achieve partial or full root coverage. In this context, the objective of this work is to present a case report of the coverage of multiple recessions in aesthetic areas by the Zucchelli and De Sanctis technique
