    Subepithelial connective tissue grafts effectively achieve root coverage, offering a versatile solution for various periodontal defects. This technique provides predictable results with minimal patient discomfort and no recurrence of recession.

    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Regenerative Dentistry

    Background:

    • Root coverage procedures are crucial for treating gingival recession.
    • Gingival recession can lead to aesthetic concerns and root sensitivity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of subepithelial connective tissue grafts for root coverage.
    • To demonstrate the versatility of this technique in different clinical scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized subepithelial connective tissue grafts harvested from the palate.
    • Applied the grafts to recipient sites with exposed root surfaces.
    • Illustrated four case examples showcasing diverse applications.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved 2 to 6 mm of root coverage in 56 cases over 4 years.

  • Maintained minimal sulcus depth post-procedure.
  • Observed no recurrence of gingival recession.
  • Reported less postoperative discomfort due to a closed donor site.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subepithelial connective tissue grafts are a successful and versatile option for root coverage.
    • The double-blood supply at the recipient site contributes to graft success.
    • This method offers predictable outcomes with patient comfort benefits.
