Root Surfaces

Tooth sensitivity is a major concern following gingival recession. Stable long-term results are necessary for the management of this condition. Here, we present a case report with the aim of validating the utilisation of a connective tissue graft to replace a restorative material over the root surface for a long term. A 36-year-old female patient presented with the chief complaint of sensitivity in her lower right (#43) and left (#33) canines, which were previously restored with a composite restoration. The recession type defect was Miller’s Class II. The old restoration was removed and replaced with a connective tissue graft, accompanied by a double-papilla flap. The case was followed-up for 18 years, and the results were stable during the follow-up period, with a highly satisfied patient. Based on these results, it can be reported that a connective tissue graft has highly predictable results and can be used for previously restored root surfaces. In addition, the connective tissue graft provides more stable results than does the use of a restorative material over root surfaces.

Stable Result

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.

Dentinal Hypersensitivity

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.
