Treatment of Gingival Recession with Connective Tissue Graft with a Coronally Advanced Flap: A Case Report

The normal position of the gingiva is affected by gingival recessions, which also expose the tooth root and are commonly accompanied with unsightly aesthetics and dentin hypersensitivity. The coronally advanced flap technique for root covering is a periodontal plastic surgery operation that is recommended for the treatment of gingival recessions. Within this case study, following a six-month follow-up, we present the clinical results of a root-covering procedure performed on lower incisors with gingival recession. A 30-year-old patient who had Miller's class I gingival recession on the vestibular surfaces of teeth 31 underwent a one-stage surgical procedure employing the coronally advanced approach in conjunction with a largely epithelialized connective tissue graft. After a six-month follow-up, this treatment achieved 100% root coverage.
