The various preprosthetic periodontal surgical techniques proposed currently, provide a future prosthetic work with better aesthetic results and functional.The objective of this study was to report a clinical case of periodontal surgery for correction of the defect in the alveolar border, by means of the subepithelial connective tissue graft. Patient presented fibrous hyperplastic growth, in the region of the maxilla túber and lip defect in the region of the upper central incisor. After planning the event,were carried out, concomitantly, two plastic surgeries prosthetic periodontal lunches. In the first surgery, a connective tissue graft was removed from the donor area, the maxila túber and then was adapted in the anterior region, receiving area where the defect of flange. Thoughtout a postoperatory period of 45 days, that the choice of surgical technique, the type of graft used for correction of the defect of rim, were pre-requisites for the future success in aesthetic and functional prosthetic rehabilitation.
