A patient that would need mucogingival surgery most likely has some sort of localized/generalized gingival recession and exposed roots, sometimes the root won't be exposed and it could also be for aesthetic purposes. Recession reduces the width of keratinized gingiva and it could progress beyond the mucogingival junction --something like this would definitely be a candidate for the surgery.
