Abstract

Purpose

The subepithelial connective tissue graft(SCTG) has been proven to be a highly predictable treatment modality for coverage of gingival recession. This case report was performed to evaluate the effect of various root coverage procedures using SCTG on gingival recession.

Materials and Methods

Three patients presents with Miller's class I recession defect on the maxillary canine. Each other SCTG(coronally advanced flap, Bruno's Tech., envelope Tech.) were performed for root coverage. Clinical parameters assessed included recession depth, recession width, and keratinized gingival width. Measurements were taken at baseline and 2 months and follow up end.

Results

The average of root coverage was 4 mm(100% of the pre-operative recession depth) at the 2, 5 months examination. The average increase of keratinized tissue between the baseline and the 2 months amounted to 3.2mm.

Conclusion

Within the above results, various root coverage using SCTG is an effective procedure to Miller's class I recession defect and patient could be satisfied aesthetic requirement.
