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.

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.

ABSTRACT Gingival recession is the migration of the free gingival margin apical to the cementoenamel junction. There are various factors contributing toward gingival recession apart from periodontal disease that include faulty tooth brushing, tooth position or malaligned teeth, high muscle or frenal attachment, alveolar bone dehiscence, orthodontic forces, and iatrogenic factors leading to problems of esthetics, hypersensitivity, and root caries. Several periodontal plastic surgical techniques have been introduced in the previous literature aiming to correct marginal tissue recessions, the predictability of which depends upon careful evaluation of the defect type, presence of attached gingiva, keratinized tissue width, and presence of single or multiple gingival recessions. The use of free gingival graft (FGG) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in root coverage is indicated for the treatment of single or multiple gingival recessions. Although both FGGs and SCTGs provide significant reduction in recession depth and clinical attachment gain for Miller's Class I and II gingival recession defects, SCTG seems to offer root coverage with a better color match between donor and recipient site tissue rendering better esthetics. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of FGG and SCTG in root coverage procedures, the following case reports describe the clinical results using FGG by Miller's technique, and using SCTGs by technique of Langer and Langer, and Zabalegui tunnel technique for the treatment of gingival recession.

Background: The long-term stability after soft tissue graft for covering gingival recession remains a pivotal goal for both patient and periodontist. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the four-year outcomes of the coronally advanced flap (CAF) versus the pouch/tunnel (POT) technique, both combined with connective tissue graft (CTG), for gingival recession treatment. Methods: Forty patients were initially randomly assigned to the control group (CAF + CTG; N = 20) and the test group (POT + CTG; N = 20). Clinical outcomes included mean root coverage (MRC) and complete root coverage (CRC), gingival thickness (GT), and keratinized tissue (KT) gain. Esthetic outcomes were also analyzed using the pink esthetic score (PES) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). All outcomes initially assessed at six months were extended to four years post-surgery. Results: No significant differences were observed between the two patient groups in terms of MRC and CRC. At four years, significantly greater GT and KT gain were noted in the POT + CTG group, and tissue texture enhancement was also more prominent in the test group. Conclusions: The POT + CTG technique allows for long-term clinical coverage of gingival recessions comparable to that of the CAF + CTG technique, but it potentially improves gingival thickness, keratinized tissue and esthetic results.

Abstract BackgroundAmong all mucogingival deformities, gingival recession is one of the most prevalent conditions that demand surgical correction. Accordingly, root coverage procedures are essential parts of plastic periodontal surgeries. It is undeniable that autogenous tissue grafts remain the gold standard for root coverage procedures. Substantial evidences have identified that the connective tissue graft (CTG) combined with coronally advanced flap (CAF) achieves favorable root coverage of recession. Nevertheless, there are some noticeable disadvantages of harvesting autogenous tissue, such as postoperative bleeding, pain, or discomfort at the donor site, restricted tissue supply, increased morbidity, and longer operative duration. In order to overcome the drawbacks of autogenous tissue harvesting, several non-vital substitutes have been produced as alternative options for replacing connective tissue graft. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is an allograft derived from human skin, which has been used extensively in various areas of dental practice over the last two decades. ADM exhibits undamaged collagen and elastin matrices that has been used as a substitute for connective tissue for root coverage procedures. Although its clinical efficacy has been discussed in several reviews, conclusions about the application of this material are still unclear and controversial. Moreover, the level of evidence on the clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes relevant to ADM graft (ADMG) is low. Therefore, the objective of this split-mouth; randomized, controlled, clinical study is to compare the long-term clinical efficacy of ADMG combination with CAF on root coverage, aesthetics and patient satisfaction with CTG combination with CAF for gingival recession with thin periodontal phenotype, hoping to provide some reference to dentists.Methods/designForty participants with bilateral Miller Class I/II gingival recession randomly received ADMG (test group) on one side and CTG (control group) on the contralateral side in conjunction with CAF. Gingival recession depth (GRD), gingival recession width (GRW), keratinized tissue width (KTW) are measured at baseline, 2, 4, 12, 24, 48 and 96 weeks. Mean root coverage (MRC), complete root coverage (CRC), root coverage aesthetic score (RES), color change (∆E), and patient satisfaction are assessed in postoperative follow-up.DiscussionCAF combined with CTG has been shown as a predictable technique in root coverage. At present, there is limited long-term data evaluating ADM on root coverage, aesthetics and patient satisfaction for the treatment of gingival recession with thin periodontal phenotype. The result of this split-mouth randomized controlled clinical studies is performed to evaluate the long-time efficacy of ADM, particularly when compared to the “gold standard” (CTG), contributing to an advanced treatment strategy of gingival recession with ideal clinical outcome.

(1) Background: To assess the clinical outcome of coronally advanced flap combined with connective tissue graft for the treatment of orthodontic-associated Miller Class III gingival recession of the lower incisors. (2) Methods: This study included 15 patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment prior to development of recession. Measurements of recession depth, recession width, probing depth, and width of keratinized tissue were performed clinically immediately before surgery and after one year. In addition, digital measurements of recession depth, recession width, and root coverage esthetic score were performed on intraoral photographs. (3) Results: Significant reduction was observed for probing depth, recession depth, and recession width at one year, with significant increase in width of keratinized tissue. Mean root coverage was 83 ± 24% for recession depth, while complete root coverage was achieved in 10 out of 21 recessions (48%). The average root coverage esthetic score at 12 months was 7.1 ± 2.6. An interaction was found between initial recession depth and mean root coverage. (4) Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, our results confirm that combination of coronally advanced flap and connective tissue graft is effective in reducing post-orthodontic Miller Class III recessions of the mandibular incisors, even when the correction of the tooth malposition, is unattainable.

Abstract Aims To assess the clinical outcome (after one year) of coronally advanced flap combined with connective tissue graft for the treatment of orthodontic-associated Miller Class III gingival recession of the lower incisors. Materials and methods This study included 15 patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment prior to development of recession. Measurements of recession depth, recession width, probing depth, and width of keratinized tissue were performed clinically immediately before surgery and after one year. In addition, digital measurements of recession depth, recession width, and root coverage esthetic score were performed on intraoral photographs. Results Significant reduction was observed for probing depth, recession depth, and recession width at one year, with significant increase in width of keratinized tissue. Mean root coverage was 83 ± 24% for recession depth, while complete root coverage was achieved in 10 out of 21 recessions (48%). The average root coverage esthetic score at 12 months was 7.1 ± 2.6. An interaction was found between initial recession depth and mean root coverage. Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, our results confirm that combination of coronally advanced flap and connective tissue graft is effective in reducing post-orthodontic Miller Class III recessions of the mandibular incisors with a concomitant increase in width of keratinized tissue. Clinical Relevance These findings suggest that combination of coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft may significantly improve post-orthodontic Miller Class III recessions of the mandibular incisors, even when the correction of the tooth malposition is unattainable.
