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.

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare, clinically, the efficiency of the subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) using the tunnel technique to cover the multiple gingival recessions on anterior teeth, in the same patient. Within the limits of this study, we conclude that both SCTG and L-PRF proved to be reliable options for the treatment of gingival recessions, efficiently supporting the biological and aesthetic demand, stimulating the periodontal tissues’ health, and bringing reliable and highly predictable results.

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.

Facial and dental esthetics are the objectives of dental treatment, and, for this, it is necessary that specialties such as periodontics and orthodontics work together. The objective of this article is to report a clinical case with the solution of localized gingival recession after orthodontic treatment, using tunneled subepithelial connective tissue grafts with follow-up for 1 year. The patient underwent orthodontic treatment for 1 year. Prior to the start of treatment, a gingival recession of 5 mm was already present on tooth 31. One month after the completion of treatment, the patient was subjected to a tunneled subepithelial connective tissue graft, with the purpose of covering the exposed root. We observed the effectiveness of the procedure and patient satisfaction with the results obtained. The subepithelial connective tissue graft was successful in this case, and the collaboration of specialists is important to provide the best treatment for the patient.
