Area of Science:

Periodontology
Oral Surgery

Background:

Surgical root coverage is frequently needed for esthetic concerns.
Standard techniques may be insufficient for complex cases, particularly in the fragile mandibular incisor region.

Observation:

A double sliding flap technique, involving two laterally repositioned flaps and frenulum dissection, was developed.
This technique is specifically designed for the mandibular incisor area to cover deep, adjacent recessions.

Findings:

When performed with correct indication and careful tissue handling, the double sliding flap technique can achieve complete root coverage.
The technique shows potential for successful long-term esthetic outcomes.

Implications:

This advanced surgical approach provides a refined option for challenging cases of gingival recession.
