Muscle Evicted Tunneling Approach (META) with Crossed Belt & Suspenders Sutures (CBS) for Mandibular Incisor Root Coverage: A Proof of Concept

This approach is indicated for RT1 and RT2 defects in mandibular incisors, where vestibule depth and muscle pull can compromise flap stability, enabling coronal positioning of the flap margin at the CEJ without vertical releases and supporting predictable esthetic and functional outcomes.
