COVERAGE OF GINGIVAL RECESSION USING SUB EPITHELIAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE GRAFT TECHNIQUE

Abstract

The esthetic concerns of patients have become an essential part of periodontal therapy. Gingival recession is one of the common esthetic concerns of periodontal tissue resulting in root exposure and may favor the initiation of tooth sensitivity. Different surgical techniques have been proposed in order to cover the area of recession and to prevent further recession by increasing the width of the attached gingiva. This paper reports a case in which a sub epithelial connective tissue graft was used to produce root coverage for Miller class II recession.
