Abstract:

Gingival recession refers to the root surface exposure caused by the retraction of the gingival margin from enamelo-cemental junction to the root, which can cause dentin sensitivity, aesthetic defects and other problems. Root coverage procedures are often applied in clinical practice to treat gingival recessions to obtain complete root coverage. This article reports a case of multiple gingival recessions treated by coronal advanced flap with or without subepithelial connective tissue graft with longitude observation of 5 years. We discussed the factors that may affect root coverage result in order to provide reference for the treatment of gingival recession.

Key words: gingival recession, root coverage procedure, subepithelial connective tissue graft
