Gingival recession leads to dentinal hypersensitivity, aesthetic problems, root caries, cervical abrasion and difficulty in oral hygiene maintenance. Managing gingival recession often is a great challenge for practitioners. Different surgical techniques have been advocated for root coverage like free soft tissue graft procedures free gingival graft and sub-epithelial connective tissue graft, pedicle soft tissue graft rotational flap and flap advancement, pouch and tunnel technique and guided tissue regeneration. This case report displays use of free gingival graft for management of patient of age 22 years with Miller’s Class I recession defect in lower left mandibular central incisor.

Aim: To report the clinical case of a child with facial and periorbital emphysema caused by an orthodontic device. Case report: An 11-year-old child presented to our clinic showing moderate swelling of the left facial area. Based on his dental history, physical findings, and instrument examinations, the diagnosis of cervicofacial emphysema was established, caused by disengagement of the facebow. One week later, all swelling and crepitus had disappeared without complications. Most patients who develop subcutaneous emphysema after a dental procedure have only moderate local swelling, which normally resolves spontaneously and without complications within a week. However, the spread of large amounts of air into the deeper spaces may cause life-threatening sequelae. Conclusions: Orthodontists should be aware that the use of extraoral traction applied via a facebow can cause soft tissue injures and emphysema of the cervicofacial region. It is important to avoid misdiagnosis and to appropriately inform patient and parents about this condition.
