The Gingival recession is considered a multi-factorial. The etiology may be an anatomically vulnerable area, faulty tooth brushing, high frenum attachment. In cases where there is progressive recession, aesthetics concern or increasing dentinal hypersensitivity, we can do recession coverage. Depending upon the presence or absence of adequate keratinized tissue we can choose the technique. In case of adequate width of keratinized tissue, usually we can do displaced flap and in case where there is inadequate width, we can do gingival grafting.

Gum is a portion of periodontal tissue that plays an important role in protecting the surface of the teeth. Its migration beyond the boundaries of the cementum enamel junction, exposing the root of the tooth, is called Gingival Recession (GR) which increases susceptibility to root caries, dentin sensitivity, and aesthetic discomfort. Objective: The main goal of this case report is to describe a surgical procedure that combined the technique of subepithelial connective tissue graft and Plasma-rich fibrin for treatment of gingival recession. Case report: A man, 45 years old, leucoderma, attended the Positive University dental clinic complaining that ‘his gum was rising, and his teeth were sensitive’. Clinical buccal examination was performed according to international guidelines for periodontal data collection and was the man was diagnosed with GR in the region comprising the buccal faces of the first right upper molar to the first right premolar. Before surgical procedure, 60 ml of blood Gum is a portion of periodontal tissue that plays an important role in protecting the surface of the teeth.

ABSTRACT Until recently, periodontal therapy was predominantly focused on establishing biologically and functionally stable periodontium. The presence of mucogingival problems and gingival recession around anterior teeth exemplifies a situation in which a treatment modality that addresses not only biological and functional but also esthetic demands are required from the periodontist. The advent of procedure such as subepithelial connective tissue graft in the mid-1980s and its various modifications thereafter, have led to improved and more predictable outcomes of root coverage. Thus, the present day clinicians have become more capable of addressing the esthetic demands of their patients. This case report shows the usage of subepithelial connective tissue graft for root coverage of upper right first premolar, which shows successful root coverage with a stable result. The technique used here created a healthy, functional and esthetic gingival unit that appeared resistant to further breakdown at a 6-month follow-up.

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.
