A semilunar coronally positioned flap is described. The technique involves a semilunar incision made parallel to the free gingival margin of the facial tissue, and coronally positioning this tissue over the denuded root. This technique has the advantage over other coronally positioned flaps, in that no sutures are required, there is no tension on the flap, there is no shortening of the vestibule, and the existing papillae are not interfered with.
