A 35-yearold man with stage III, grade C periodontitis underwent a two-stage intervention. Initially, a modification of the connective tissue graft (m-CTG) wall technique was used as part of phenotype modification therapy. The CTG acted as a protective 'wall,' securing space for periodontal regeneration, enhancing root coverage, soft tissue thickness, and keratinized mucosal width. Recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 and carbonate apatite promoted periodontal regeneration. This procedure successfully facilitated periodontal regeneration, resulting in the transition from RT3 to RT2 gingival recession and adequate keratinized mucosal width. Eighteen months later, the second surgery used a tunneled coronally advanced flap (TCAF) for root coverage. TCAF involved combining a coronally advanced flap and tunnel technique by elevating the trapezoidal surgical papilla and using a de-epithelialized CTG inserted beneath the tunneled flap. Root conditioning with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and enamel matrix derivative gel application were performed. Consequently, mean CAL gain was 5.3 mm, mean root coverage was 4.5 mm in height, and the gingival phenotype improved at the treated sites by the 12-month follow-up. This staged approach addresses the challenges of treating RT3 gingival recession with promising outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":94231,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of periodontics & restorative dentistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141768342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
