Restoration of the CEJ level and root coverage after gingival augmentation procedure on mandibular teeth: a case
Abstract:
The aim of this article is to present a clinical case of a 54-year-old patient where the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) level was restored and a root coverage procedure carried out after gingival augmentation on the mandibular teeth. A very thin buccal keratinized tissue (KT) was detected apical to the recessions. The restorative approach consisted of identifying the lost CEJ, thus differentiating the area of restoration from the area of root coverage of the abraded teeth. Subsequently, a free gingival graft (FGG) was applied. A coronally advanced flap procedure was performed 3 months later. The clinical outcomes obtained through combined restorative/ periodontal treatment were maintained at the 4-year follow-up.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
