This study introduces a novel surgical technique using a pedicled buccal fat pad for root coverage in severe gingival recession. This method effectively addresses Miller Class III defects, enhancing keratinized mucosa dimensions.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Oral Surgery
  • Regenerative Dentistry

Background:

  • Gingival recession is multifactorial, with various surgical techniques available for management.
  • The buccal fat pad is a stable, vascularized tissue suitable for reconstructive procedures.

Observation:

  • Severe gingival recession defects, specifically Miller Class III, pose significant challenges in root coverage.
  • The buccal fat pad offers a readily available local flap for reconstruction.

Findings:

  • A novel technique utilizing a pedicled buccal fat pad was developed for root coverage.
  • This approach successfully treated Miller Class III recession on a maxillary right first molar.

Implications:

  • This technique provides a viable option for root coverage in severe recession cases.
