Summary
Gingival recession affects dental aesthetics and can cause sensitivity. A double papilla flap with Alloderm achieved 80% root coverage for Class I recession defects, improving cosmetic outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Periodontology
- Periodontal Plastic Surgery
- Regenerative Dentistry
Background:
- Increasing patient demand for cosmetic dental procedures.
- Gingival recession presents aesthetic concerns, hypersensitivity, and increased root caries risk.
- Various surgical techniques exist for correcting gingival recession defects.
Observation:
- A specific case involving a single tooth with Class I gingival recession.
- Adequate width of keratinized gingiva was present on adjacent teeth.
- The surgical approach utilized a double papilla laterally positioned flap combined with Alloderm graft.
Findings:
- The combined surgical technique successfully addressed the gingival recession.
- Significant root coverage was achieved, with 80% of the recession defect covered.
- The procedure demonstrated efficacy in restoring aesthetics and potentially mitigating sensitivity.
Implications:
- This technique offers a viable option for treating Class I gingival recession, particularly when adjacent keratinized gingiva is sufficient.
- The use of Alloderm in conjunction with a double papilla flap shows promise for predictable root coverage.
- Improved aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction are key benefits of successful gingival recession treatment.
