Abstract:

The story of the coronally advanced flap is the story of periodontal evolution. What began as a predictable root-coverage technique has become a comprehensive surgical philosophy-applicable to esthetic recession, regeneration, and implant rehabilitation. The future? Reconstructive bone surgery with less surgical burden for patients.
