Treatment of Gingival Recession with Coronally Advanced FlapProcedure

Abstract

Gingival recession is one of the most common esthetic concerns associated with the periodontal tissues. Gingival recession is the exposure of root surfaces due to apical migration of the gingival tissue margins. Coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique and its modifications have been proposed in the literature to correct gingival recession defects. This paper reportsthe treatment of multiple gingival recessions with the procedure involved utilization of coronally advanced flap. At the postoperative follow-up visits, the success of the surgical approach was confirmed by the absence of tooth sensitivity and presence of gingival tissue with normal color, texture and contour. An excellent aesthetical outcome was achieved and the patient was satisfied with the outcome.
