Description:

Gingival Recession therapy is one important solution in contemporary periodontics.
Success relies on the localized anatomy, selected technique, and factors related to patient's healing response and post-op behavior.

The referred patient was a healthy, 26-year old female non-smoker with a gummy smile and localized Miller's Class I gingival recessions. The recession was 5 to 6 mm deep on both upper first canines.

Oblique and paramarginal incision were used to create the flap design, and a CT graft was used to improve the thickness of the gingival margins. Enamel Matrix Derivative (Emdogain) was also used to improve the healing aspect.

Two-and-a-half-years follow-up depicts 100% root coverage with excellent color match and volume as compared with adjacent teeth and gingival margins.
