Background, Aims:
The purpose of the present case report was to present 2 ways of treating recession in a periodontal patient combined with regular pocket elimination surgery. The techniques used enabled the operator to reduce the number of surgical sessions and clinically evaluate the 3-year coverage of gingival recessions using a subpedicle connective tissue graft.
Methods:
Surgery consisted of pocket elimination procedures to treat adult periodontitis as a way to harvest connective tissue to be placed in the areas of recession. The grafted tissue was covered by the primary flap or left uncovered in a pouch, according to 2 different techniques described in the literature.
Results:
In this case, we observed that, with this approach, we were successful in reducing the number of surgical session as well as achieving objective and subjective goals of therapy in treated areas.
