Gingival recession, which is clinically manifested by an apical displacement of the gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), are common in populations with high oral hygiene standards (Sangnes and Gjermo 1976, Serino, Wennstrom et al. 1994, Matas, Sentis et al. 2011) or with low oral hygiene standards (Baelum, Fejerskov et al. 1986, Loe, Anerud et al. 1992) and can leading to root surface exposure. (Wennstrom 1994).

In patients with periodontitis gingival recession often leads to exposure of root surfaces to the oral environment which consequently results in the increasing risk of root caries. Root caries can be treated with a Class V restoration, whose margins are often subgingival [5].

The primary aims in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis are to eliminate the microbial factors, stop inflammation, regenerate lost tissues, and prevent recurrence. However, initial periodontal treatments alone are often insufficient in these patients (2000). This may be due to the remaining microorganisms in the periodontal pocket after mechanical debridement (Teughels et al. 2014). Deep periodontal pockets in aggressive periodontitis are another serious limitation for the cleaning of the subgingival area. In such cases, especially in areas where the pocket depth exceeds 5 mm, application of the mechanotherapy is very difficult. The failure of subgingival instrumentation due to persistent inflammation indicates the use of surgical treatment for the inflammatory site (Buchmann et al. 2002). However, surgical procedures may cause gingival recession, especially in the anterior region, which is an important esthetic problem, (Hirsch et al. 2004). Finding new methods to improve the effectiveness of non-surgical treatment is important not only to eliminate the periodontal pathogens but also to achieve a better esthetic result. Therefore, in addition to mechanical therapies, various antimicrobial treatment approaches have emerged.
