The purpose of this case report is to present a case of free gingival graft for treatment of mandibular incisor labial gingival recession relapsed after laterally positioned flap surgery. A 22 year-old female patient with discomfort and labial gingival recession on left mandibular central incisor was treated. The patient had been treated root coverage on same site by laterally positioned flap surgery, but treated site had relapsed in one month. Exposed root surface was covered by free gingiva from left palatal area. Although gingival color did not completely match with adjacent gingiva, more than 5mm keratinized gingiva was attained. The patient showed no further recurring pain and recession on gingiva after 5 months from the surgery. In conclusion, the root coverage with gain of keratinized gingiva could be achieved through free gingival graft from palate on relapsed gingival recession.
