Abstract
|
|
|
|
Connective tissue grafts (CTGs) are generally viewed as the most successful technique for root coverage. The aim of this case report was to describe the treatment and follow-up outcome of two complicated cases of gingival recession in the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth using subepithelial CTGs. The operation was performed by the following steps: recipient site formation, removal of grafts from the donor site, and graft placement and immobilization. The grafted connective tissue was submerged by the envelope, modified double papilla flap, and coronally advanced flap techniques. There were no postoperative complications. Soft tissue volumes increased, and gingival biotypes were acquired. Improved esthetics and oral hygiene were obtained. Root coverage using subepithelial CTGs is considered as the proper treatment choice, but it requires long-term observations due to additional coverage by creeping movement or deterioration by relapse.
