Apical migration of the gingival fiber attachment and marginal gingiva leads to gingival recession and can be caused due to many factors such as faulty tooth brushing, masochistic habits, periodontal disease etc. This causes dentinal hypersensitivity, aesthetic problems, root caries, cervical abrasion, and difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene and often possess a challenging situation for the clinician to deliver best care to the patients. This case reports about the use of SCTG along with coronally advanced flap. To report a case of RT2 recession, older term – Millers Class II recession which showed promising result when root coverage procedure was done using sub-epithelial connective tissue and coronally advancing the flap. A 62-year-old male patient was referred to the Department of Periodontology, with a chief complaint of hypersensitivity and downward shifting of gum in upper front left teeth region which was progressive in nature with no obvious medical history.After achieving profound anaesthesia over the concerned region the recipient site was prepared. After which the donor tissue was retrieved from the palatal area using trap door method and placed over the recipient site. No root biomodification agents were used. The graft was stabilised using interrupted suture and then criss-cross suturing was done, and non-eugenol periodontal dressing was given. The follow up results showed good outcome with predictable root coverage achieved using Sub-epithelial Connective Tissue Graft (SCTG) and coronally advanced flap in the canine region which is often the most difficult one to achieve complete root coverage because of canine prominence. SCTG can be used successfully along with coronally advanced flap and clinicians must opt for such treatment modalities for patients benefit.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate periodontal clinical conditions after treatment for gingival recession (GR) using subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and acellular dermal matrix (ADM).Methods: Ten patients with Miller’s Class I and II recessions that had been treated with SCTG or ADM at the Periodontics Outpatient Department at Universitas Indonesia were selected for this study. The pre-operative data for GR, clinical attachment levels (CAL), and attached gingiva (AG) were retrieved from the patients’ medical records. The patients were recalled and the post-operative data were recorded.Results: The application of SCTG and ADM yields significant changes to GR, CAL, and AG levels. A comparison of two groups at the post-operative assessment stage showed no statistically significant differences, in terms of GR, CAL, and AG.Conclusion: SCTG and ADM yield similar outcomes in the treatment of GR. As such, ADM may be suggested as an alternative to SCTG for root coverage.

Background and aims. This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of vestibular incisional subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) with subepithelial connective tissue graft versus a coronally advanced flap (CAF) with subepithelial connective tissue graft for the treatment of gingival recession defects. Materials and methods. This randomized clinical trial was performed on 24 recession defects that were bilaterally Miller’s class I or II in the maxillary canine and premolar area. One quadrant in each patient was selected randomly to receive VISTA (test group) or CAF (control group) with connective tissue graft. Clinical parameters measured at baseline and at 3- and 6- month postoperative intervals included recession width (RW), recession depth (RD), keratinized tissue width (KTW), clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing depth (PD). Results. Healing was uneventful in both the test and control groups. At the 6-month follow-up, there was a significant decrease in RD, RW and CAL and an increase in KTW in both the test and control groups. The PD remained unchanged. At 3 and 6 months, no statistically significant differences were found between VISTA and CAF for root coverage and clinical attachment gain. Mean root coverage (MRC) was 70.69% and 67.22% in the test and control group, respectively. VISTA demonstrated higher frequency of complete root coverage (CRC) compared to CAF: 50% vs. 33% (P<0.05). The mean KTW was 2.4±0.7 mm at the test and 2.7±0.8 mm at the control sites (P>0.05) Conclusion. VISTA, as a minimally invasive approach, can enhance root coverage, KTW and clinical attachment gain; therefore, it can be used as a substitute for CAF with connective tissue graft as a gold standard for root coverage.
