A double ended surgical instrument for periodontal surgery is disclosed and comprises a spoon shaped part on one side/end and a blade having sharp edge on the other side/end. The spoon shaped part and the sharp edged part are connected to a handle at its two ends through respective connectors and shanks. The spoon shaped part is in alignment with longitudinal axis of the instrument and the blade/sharp edged part is positioned at an offset from the axis of the instrument and generally perpendicular to the axis. The instrument is useful for treatment of gingival recession wherein the spoon shaped part is used to detach gingiva from bone and the blade part is used to pull the detached gingiva coronlly over the recessed area and to elevate a full thickness flap.
