Management of Miller class III gingival recession by Subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) with coronally advanced flap (CAF): A 6-month follow up case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Mucogingival surgery involving gingival reconstruction has become an integral part of current periodontal practice. Gingival recession, either localized or generalized, may beassociated with one or more surfaces, resulting in attachment loss and root exposure, which can lead to clinical and fuctional problems such as poor esthetic, poor plaque control and root hypersensitivity etc. Miller’s Class III recession was treated by the surgical technique of subepithelial connective tissue graft, lead to obtaining adequate root coverage, eliminating the aesthetic deficiency and the dentin hypersensitivity complained by patient. This technique has been attributed to success mainly due to the dual blood supply for graft’s nutrition which is originating from the connective tissue of both the periosteum and flap. This case report describes a clinical case of severe Miller Class III gingival recession which is treated by Subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) with coronally advanced flap (CAF) for complete root coverage.
