ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Complete root coverage is one of the primary objectives to be considered when treating gingival recessions. Furthermore, aesthetic demands can be satisfied by soft tissue grafts, the thickness and color of which should not be distinguishable from those of adjacent soft tissue.

Comparison of conventional and semilunar coronally positioned flap techniques for root coverage in teeth with cervical abrasion restored with pink resin
Gingival recession is the most common mucogingival defect, characterized by apical migration of the gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction and root exposure. Several surgical techniques are reported for the treatment of gingival recession. Here we present a comparison of the conventional (coronally advanced flap) and semilunar coronally positioned flap techniques for root coverage in t...
متن کاملEfficacy of the lateral advanced flap in root-coverage procedures for mandibular central incisors: a 5-year clinical study.
The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of the lateral advanced flap in root-coverage procedures for mandibular incisors and to evaluate pain after treatment. A total of 15 patients who required treatment for gingival recessions were selected from the University of Genoa Laser and Restorative Dentistry Department. The inclusion criteria were the presence of at least one 3-mm gingiva...
متن کاملRoot 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...
متن کاملMultiple Marginal Tissue Recession Treated with a Simplified Lateral Sliding Flap Technique
Marginal tissue recession is a common esthetic problem that is usually accompanied by dentin sensitivity, and patients frequently report a fear of dental loss. Lateral sliding flaps have been used for localized recession, but they are rarely used for multiple recessions. The aim of this paper was to report a case of coverage of multiple marginal tissue recessions by means of a lateral sliding f...
متن کاملRoot Coverage using Double Papilla Preservation Flap: A Case Report
Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with the success of dental therapy. Esthetics is one of the main concerns of the patient if recession is present especially in anteriors. Hence, the treatment of choice for root coverage for the anterior teeth should address...
