    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Oral Surgery

    Context:

    • Gingival recession is a common condition affecting the upper jaw.
    • Root coverage procedures aim to restore lost gum tissue.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a modified bridging flap for treating upper jaw gingival recessions.
    • To assess the long-term root coverage results over three years.

    Summary:

    • Gingival recessions in the upper jaw were treated using a modified bridging flap technique.
    • Root coverage was assessed at one and three years post-surgery.
    • One-year results showed 72% root coverage, decreasing to 66% at three years.

    Impact:

    • The modified bridging flap offers a predictable method for addressing gingival recession.
    • Sustained, though slightly reduced, root coverage is achievable long-term.
    • This technique contributes to preserving periodontal health and aesthetics.
