Management of Multiple Recession simultaneously with Modified Coronally Advanced Flap

Abstract

Gingival recession is one of the aesthetic concern for a beautiful smile. In an aesthetically driven era, root coverage requires consideration of all prognostic factors for successful results. This paper reports a case of treatment of Miller’s Class I gingival recession involving multiple teeth. A modified coronally advanced flap procedure was performed. At the postoperative follow-up visits, healing was uneventful. After 9 months, excellent aesthetic result was achieved with complete root coverage. Periodontal health was normal and the patient was satisfied with the result.

Gingival Biotype Classification, Assessment, and Clinical Importance: A Review

“…36 A case report in which management of multiple recession simultaneously with modified coronally advanced flap having thicker gingival biotype shows 100% root coverage. 37 A critical threshold thickness of >1.1mm for complete root coverage was found. 38 A chance for more gingival recession was found with immediate single tooth implant restoration in a population with a thin biotype and decrease risk of recession in patients with a thick biotype.…”

Operculum from Erupting Third Molar: An Alternative Donor Site for an Epithelialised-Free Soft-Tissue Autograft

“…2 Problems related to attached gingiva and aesthetics can be managed effectively with proper treatment plan and correct surgical technique. 3 Use of operculum of erupting third molar to augment attached gingiva is predictable. 4 However, adequate evidence is not present.…”
