“…The elimination of vertical incision which is used in subepithelial connective tissue grafting, ensures complete coverage of the connective tissue graft by the flap thus aids in faster healing as well as excellent color matching. The pouch and tunnel procedure may be of advantage in multiple adjacent recessions as compared to coronally repositioned flap as there is minimum trauma to the recipient site and there is predictable root coverage [8].…”

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Case Series: This case series comprises three cases of multiple adjacent recessions which were treated using pouch and tunnel technique with connective tissue grafting from palate using Liu's Class 1a incision. This technique resulted in excellent root coverage and complete healing of the donor site. The cases have been followed postoperatively varying from 9 to 18 months. IJCRI publishes Review Conclusion:The pouch and tunnel procedure is ideal for treatment of multiple adjacent recessions in a single surgical procedure demonstrating early healing and highly predictable root coverage results.

This case report aimed to treat a 48-year-old healthy male patient with a chief complaint of sensitivity and receding gums concerning the lower front tooth region. Intraoral examination revealed class I gingival recession i.r.t. 31 and 41. A two-stage modied approach using de-epithelialized gingival graft (DGG) was used to increase the gingival thickness at rst stage followed by the minimally invasive pouch and tunnel technique with bi-layered A-PRF membrane in the second stage to achieve complete root coverage. 3 months after the rst stage there was an increase in gingival thickness which can be owed to the use of DGG. One year following the second stage complete root coverage with stable gingival thickness and reduced root sensitivity was observed, Thus, this modied two-stage approach could be successfully used for the treatment of class I and II gingival recession.
