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 4th premolar. Rostral and caudal sliding pedicle flaps were utilized to repair the canine defect. Donor tissue was taken rostral for the 4th premolar.
