Area of Science:

Periodontology
Oral Surgery

Background:

Gingival recession presents challenges like root sensitivity, esthetics, and increased risk of caries and abrasion.
Deep recession necessitates treatment when marginal tissue health is compromised.

Observation:

A two-stage surgical technique involves creating attached gingiva via a free gingival graft, followed by a lateral sliding flap.
This indirect approach ensures adequate attached gingiva width.

Findings:

The two-stage surgical procedure demonstrates high predictability for root coverage.
This technique is particularly effective for isolated deep recession cases lacking sufficient attached gingiva.

Implications:

This predictable surgical approach offers a viable solution for managing problematic gingival recession.
Improved root coverage can enhance patient quality of life by addressing sensitivity and esthetic concerns.
