Abstract
Introduction: Apical migration of the gingival fiber attachment and marginal gingiva leads to gingival recession and can be caused due to many factors such as faulty tooth brushing, masochistic habits, periodontal disease etc. This causes dentinal hypersensitivity, aesthetic problems, root caries, cervical abrasion, and difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene and often possess a challenging situation for the clinician to deliver best care to the patients. This case reports about the use of SCTG along with coronally advanced flap.
Purpose: To report a case of RT2 recession, older term – Millers Class II recession which showed promising result when root coverage procedure was done using sub-epithelial connective tissue and coronally advancing the flap.
Case Report: A 62-year-old male patient was referred to the Department of Periodontology, with a chief complaint of hypersensitivity and downward shifting of gum in upper front left teeth region which was progressive in nature with no obvious medical history.
Materials and Methods: After achieving profound anaesthesia over the concerned region the recipient site was prepared. After which the donor tissue was retrieved from the palatal area using trap door method and placed over the recipient site. No root biomodification agents were used. The graft was stabilised using interrupted suture and then criss-cross suturing was done, and non-eugenol periodontal dressing was given.
Results: The follow up results showed good outcome with predictable root coverage achieved using Sub-epithelial Connective Tissue Graft (SCTG) and coronally advanced flap in the canine region which is often the most difficult one to achieve complete root coverage because of canine prominence.
Conclusion: SCTG can be used successfully along with coronally advanced flap and clinicians must opt for such treatment modalities for patients benefit.
