RESUMO
Mucogingival deformities are a group of conditions that affect many patients, having an impact on function and esthetics; they can be congenital, developmental, or acquired. Gingival recession is defined by the American Academy of Periodontology as the location of the gingival margin apical to the amelocemental junction. They can be localized or generalized and include one or more sides of the tooth. Among the treatments, subepithelial connective tissue grafting and acellular dermal matrix can be considered, whose objectives are root coverage and keratinized tissue width. Case report: A 54-year-old female patient diagnosed with mucogingival deformities around the tooth, was treated with subepithelial connective tissue graft to obtain root coverage in recessions RT2 and RT3. Conclusion: The purpose of using a bilaminar technique where a flap is made, and a connective tissue graft is placed to cover gingival recessions is to obtain better esthetic results.
