This study presents a modified semilunar coronally advanced flap technique for treating gingival recession. The technique offers predictable root coverage and improved esthetics in the smile zone.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontal Plastic Surgery
  • Gingival Esthetics
  • Mucogingival Deformities

Background:

  • Periodontal treatment traditionally prioritizes tooth survival over esthetics.
  • Gingival recession is a common concern impacting patient satisfaction and clinical treatment.
  • Achieving optimal gingival appearance around restored teeth is a key goal.

Observation:

  • Gingival recession presents a significant esthetic challenge for patients and clinicians.
  • Periodontal plastic surgery aims for root coverage in the esthetic zone.
  • Various surgical procedures exist for correcting mucogingival recession with variable success.

Findings:

  • This case report evaluates the treatment outcomes of a modified semilunar coronally advanced flap technique.

  • The technique, developed by Kamran Haghighat, addresses recession defects on single and adjacent teeth.
  • Predictable root coverage and improved gingival esthetics were observed.

    • Implications:

    • The modified semilunar coronally advanced flap technique offers a predictable solution for gingival recession.
    • This approach enhances esthetic outcomes in periodontal treatments.
    • It provides clinicians with a reliable surgical option for restoring the gingival margin.
