Abstract:
This case presentation demonstrates an innovative approach to root coverage that uses an enamel matrix derivative in conjunction with periosteal connective tissue grafting in a patient with multiple gingival facial recessions. A 22-year-old female patient presented for the resolution of aesthetic concerns associated with multiple gingival recessions for teeth #23(32) through #25(41). This technique achieved soft tissue coverage of the root surfaces and effectively improved the patient's aesthetic appearance. These satisfactory clinical results have been maintained for 12 months.
