Summary
A modified coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique enhances flap mobility for treating multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGR) in the upper front teeth. This approach achieves stable root coverage and improved esthetics in challenging cases.
Area of Science:
- Periodontology
- Restorative Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- The frontal envelope coronally advanced flap (CAF) is used for multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGR) in the anterior maxilla.
- Tunneling the midline papilla in traditional CAF can limit flap mobility and cause folds, especially in extensive cases.
