Area of Science:

Periodontology
Laser Dentistry

Background:

Gingival recession presents functional and aesthetic challenges, with subepithelial connective grafts being the gold standard for coverage.
Current techniques often lack new attachment, necessitating adjunctive methods like root biomodification.

Observation:

This case study explored using an Er, Cr: YSGG laser for root biomodification in conjunction with a subpedicle connective tissue graft.
The treatment addressed a wide and deep gingival recession defect.

Findings:

Six-month follow-up demonstrated improved recession coverage despite the defect's severity.
The Er, Cr: YSGG laser served as an effective adjunctive tool.

Implications:

Er, Cr: YSGG laser root biomodification shows potential to enhance outcomes for gingival recession treatment.
This adjunctive approach may improve predictability and patient satisfaction in periodontal plastic surgery.
