Root Coverage with Coronally Advanced Flap with Connective Tissue Graft: Literature Review and Case Report

Coronally positioned flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft for root coverage: various indications and flap designs.

Aesthetic concerns and functional abnormalities, such as dentin hypersensitivity, are often associated with gingival recession defects. Root coverage procedures aim to restore both gingival aesthetics and function in recession defects. The coronally positioned flap combined with the subepithelial connective tissue graft is one of the most widely used root coverage procedures. The present report...

Root coverage using the coronally positioned flap with or without a subepithelial connective tissue graft.

BACKGROUND Various surgical techniques have been proposed for treating gingival recession. This randomized clinical trial compared the coronally positioned flap (CPF) alone or in conjunction with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in the treatment of gingival recession. METHODS Eleven non-smoking subjects with bilateral and comparable Miller Class I recession defects were selected...

Root Coverage with a New Collagen Matrix and Coronally Advanced Flap: A Case Report

US Food and Drug Administration for regenerative therapy involving teeth and implants, including treatment of dehiscence defects around teeth. Fabricated as a matrix and composed of pure porcine collagen obtained by standardized, controlled manufacturing processes. The collagen was extracted from veterinary-certified pigs and purified to avoid antigenic reactions. The matrix was made of collage...

Tunnel technique with connective tissue graft versus coronally advanced flap with enamel matrix derivative for root coverage: a randomized controlled clinical trial using 3D digital measuring methods

Root coverage with a modified laterally positioned flap combined with a subepithelial connective tissue graft in advanced recession

PURPOSE A laterally positioned flap (LPF) combined with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) is one of the conventional approaches for resolving gingival recession defects, with the advantages of flap flexibility and extended coverage of the tissue graft. However, thus far, evidence is lacking for the use of this technique for the treatment of advanced gingival recession defects. This...
