Abstract:
A 24-year-old female patient presented for the resolution of esthetic concerns associated with wide gingival recession facial to the maxillary left central incisor before orthodontic treatment. A periosteal connective tissue graft in conjunction with an enamel matrix derivative was used to achieve root coverage. This technique achieved healthy thick keratinized tissue coverage of the root surfaces and effectively improved the esthetics. These satisfactory clinical results have been maintained for 18 months, even through active orthodontic treatment.
