ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The dentin hypersensitivity associated with gingival recession is an occurrence of high prevalence in the clinical routine of dentists. Coverage of exposed root surfaces represents a challenge for periodontal treatment.Objective:
The purpose of the present study is to describe an approach for adjacent gingival recession treatment using a combination of two surgical techniques the subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) with a laterally positioned double flap. Case report This surgical treatment was conducted in a 45-yearold female patient who complained of sensitivity when brushing the lower right teeth. Clinical and radiographic examinations showed gingival recessions (Miller Class III) with traumatic origin promoted for tooth brushing and the presence of thin periodontium in the region. In addition, interproximal bone loss was noted on vestibular face of the right mandibular second premolar and mesial root of the right mandibular first molar. At 12 postoperative months, it was observed that the association of the two surgical techniques promoted an almost complete coverage of the gingival recessions, an increased keratinized gingival band and the elimination of initial dentin hypersensitivity.Conclusion:
The appropriate choice of techniques and patient compliance to the periodontal support therapy led to treatment success and periodontal health maintenance in the region during the whole follow-up period.
