The Use of Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft Technique to the Treatment of Class I Miller Recession in Lower Tooth with Abrasion: Case Report

Abstract

Gingival recession can cause aesthetic problems, discomfort for cervical dentin hypersensitivity and can be treated by connective tissue grafts. This case report used subepithelial connective tissue graft to treatment class I Miller recession in premolar lower with abrasion. The premolar were treated by scaling and root planing chemical modification with 24% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), bur shaped reconteur of abrasion lesion and subepithelial connective tissue graft combined with coronal flap. The results provide excellent root coverage, improve the root hypersensitivity and abrasion lesion. Although the longevity of this successful treatment depends on the diagnosis and removal of the causative agent, as well as the patient's cooperation in maintained of oral hygiene.
