Gingival recession is usually characterized by the apical displacement of the gingival margin, exposing the root surface when related to cemento-enamel junction. It has turned out to be one of the most common perturbations for the patients, apart from esthetic, root sensitivity, progression of periodontal diseases and root caries are the major fields of concern. The goal of periodontist is not only to treat gingival recession but also to rectify the functional and esthetic deficiencies to further combat the periodontal destruction. Semilunar flap is one of the procedures followed to cover recession, being a simple, minimally invasive and effective technique with higher patient acceptance and provides satisfactory results for Miller’s class I recession. Semilunar flap when combined with EDTA, as root conditioner provides a biocompatible cell surface for tissue attachment. Here we are presenting a case report where semilunar coronally advanced flap was used for treatment of Miller’s Class I recession in maxillary central incisor. Keywords: EDTA, Esthetics, Gingival Recession, Semilunar Flap.

AbstractGingival recession has been defined as the term used to characterize the apical shift of the marginal gingiva from its normal position on the crown of the tooth to levels on the root surface beyond the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). Numerous techniques have been developed for treatment of these defects including rotational and advanced gingival flaps, soft-tissue grafting procedures with autogenous and allograft materials. This paper illustrates a case report of 42-years-old male patient with a chief complaint of thermal root sensitivity in relation with front teeth of lower jaw and describes a technique to coronally advance the flap in combination with recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) (GEM 21S®) to treat multiple gingival recession defects. Patient was followed postoperatively, and healing was evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months, with recession depth as the primary outcome measure. This case report revealed a favourable tissue response to GEM 21S® from both clinical and aesthetic points of view showing excellent plastic surgery results for gingiva.

Gingival recessions are usually treated with surgical therapies which involve the use of connective tissue autograft in order to thicken the gingival tissue. This has an important biological repercussion on patients since they will have surgical wounds in two different oral cavity sites. In this case report, we offer an alternative technique for the treatment of a Miller class I gingival recession. A 40-year-old female patient has been treated with a combination of bilaminar and coronally advance flap techniques to cover a Miller class I gingival recession with addition of cryopreserved human amniotic membrane. The human amniotic membrane has been employed to thicken the keratinized tissue. The human amniotic membrane in combination with bilaminar and coronally advance flap techniques has produced aesthetically and functionally satisfying results, covering completely the gingival recession and restoring the natural colour and thickness of the gingiva. Bilaminar technique with coronally advanced flap and cryopreserved human amniotic membrane is a valid alternative in treating Miller class I and II gingival recessions and reduce the biological morbidity of a double intervention.

AbstractThe aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a collagen barrier along with an alloplastic bone graft in the treatment of gingival recession defects. Two patients having Miller’s Class I or Class II recession defects participated in the study. One was treated with a collagen membrane covered by a coronally positioned flap. Second patient also had bone graft placed beneath the membrane. Clinical parameters were recorded. Patients were followed postoperatively and healing was evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months, with recession depth as the primary criteria for assessment. This case report revealed a favorable tissue response to bone graft and collagen membrane from both clinical and esthetic point of view in the treatment of gingival recession. Root coverage tended to be better with the addition of bone graft.

The root coverage procedure to treat gingival recessions is the best line of treatment, being the most used the coronal advanced flap.  There have been multiple clinical and aesthetic results that cast doubt on whether this procedure by adding a connective tissue graft will be a more predictable and more aesthetic regarding defect removal. In this case report a patient 24-year-old male refers hypersensitivity and aesthetic discomfort in the area of gingival recession.  An autologous graft with a coronal flap advancement of connective tissue will be used. After six months of healing the patient reports improvements in: sensitivity, plaque control and aesthetics.

Background:In recent times, aesthetics has become a major reason for the patients to seek the dentist. Gingival recession of the anterior teeth leads to long tooth appearance thereby hampering the aesthetics. The aim of the present study is to assess the efciency of modied coronally advanced ap (MCAF) technique in combination with platelet-rich brin (PRF) for recession coverage of Miller's class I and II cases. Materials and method: 10 patients with Miller's class I or class II gingiva were treated by modied coronally advanced ap (MCAF) technique in combination with platelet-rich brin (PRF). The clinical parameters such as gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), width of attached gingiva (WAG), thickness of attached gingiva (TAG) and the height of gingival recession (HGR) were recorded at baseline, 3 months and 6 months follow-up visits. Results: All the clinical parameters showed signicant improvement at 3 months and 6 months post-operatively when compared with the baseline values. The results obtained during the initial follow-up visit remained stable over a period of 6 months. Conclusion: MCAF is a foreseeable technique to achieve gingival recession coverage. Additionally, the use of PRF enables in improved WAG and TAG due to the release of growth factors.

Gingival recession is one of the aesthetic concern for a beautiful smile. In an aesthetically driven era, root coverage requires consideration of all prognostic factors for successful results. This paper reports a case of treatment of Miller’s Class I gingival recession involving multiple teeth. A modified coronally advanced flap procedure was performed. At the postoperative follow-up visits, healing was uneventful. After 9 months, excellent aesthetic result was achieved with complete root coverage. Periodontal health was normal and the patient was satisfied with the result.

One of the main purposes of mucogingival therapy is to obtain full root coverage. Several treatment modalities have been developed, but few techniques can provide complete root coverage in a class III Miller recession. Thus, the aim of this case report is to present a successful clinical case of a Miller class III gingival recession in which complete root coverage was obtained by means of a multidisciplinary approach. A 17-year-old Caucasian female was referred for treatment of a gingival recession on the mandibular left central incisor. The following procedures were planned for root coverage in this case: free gingival graft, orthodontic movement by means of alignment and leveling and coronally advanced flap (CAF). The case has been followed up for 12 years and the patient presents no recession, no abnormal probing depth and no bleeding on probing, with a wide attached gingiva band. A compromised tooth with poor prognosis, which would be indicated for extraction, can be treated by orthodontic movement and periodontal therapy, with possibility of 100% root coverage in some class III recessions.
