Sliding Pedicle Flap for Repair of V-shaped Gingival Recession in a Dog

This is a (very sweet) middle aged miniature schnauzer with v-shaped gingival defects. Surgery is required to regenerate attachment and slow or prevent further compromise of the periodontal tissue associated with this canine (both were affected) and the 4^th premolar. Rostral and caudal sliding pedicle flaps were utilized to repair the canine defect. Donor tissue was taken rostral for the 4^th premolar.
