“…Salem et al reported that the tunneling technique is superior to the traditional CAF procedure in terms of longterm GR coverage [12]. Tunneling techniques have been shown to result in predictable positive outcomes as demonstrated by the results of our study [13]. Our findings are also in accordance with the observations of a previous systematic review [14].…”

Gingival recession (GR), the apical shift of the gingival margin, results in root surface exposure. Its etiology is multifactorial, including teeth position within the dental arch, bony dehiscence, alveolar mucosa thickness, incorrect toothbrushing, orthodontic treatment, and periodontal disease. Coronally advanced flap (CAF) with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) is the gold standard for managing GR. With the introduction of minimally invasive surgery, various techniques proposed for managing GR minimize patient morbidity and maximize surgical outcomes. The present case report is that of a 26-year-old male patient with the primary complaint of sensitivity in the upper right and left back teeth regions. Emdogain was used with SCTG for managing recession on the left side and with the xenogeneic collagen matrix (Mucograft) to cover recession on the right side. Post-operative healing was uneventful, with significant recession reduction and an increase in the width of the attached gingiva at both sites. GR, apart from posing as an esthetic complication, also results in tooth sensitivity. This makes the management of GR very important for which multiple treatment modalities are available. The current case report highlights the success of the minimally invasive tunneling technique in managing isolated GR.

“…A long free gingival graft of 1 mm thickness was harvested from the palate and completely deepithelialized with a 15c blade ( Figure 2(e) ). The graft was placed under the tunneling pouch and stretched laterally by the sutures, as previously described [ 14 ] and fixed to the facial aspects of the left and right canines with composite, and then, the graft was advanced coronally on the labial surface of the crowns ( Figure 2(f) ). Postoperation medications and instruction were given to the patient.…”

Mucogingival deformities are a group of defects that occur around the cervical area of the teeth. Gingival recession is the most common type of these deformities. It might happen separately or with other related deformities like thin gingival biotypes, shallow vestibule, high frenal attachment, and cervical dental steps. Recent classification of mucogingival deformity matrix has collectively grouped gingival recession types with other mucogingival deformities and dental steps to establish the proper diagnosis and evaluate surgical/restorative management and prognosis of the treatment outcomes. The following case presentations have presented with a technical review, clinical evaluation, and surgical and/or restorative treatment according to the recent matrix.
