Recession Coverage

Multiple recessions with coronally advanced modified tunnel
Aim: Treatment of multiple recessions in the anterior region of the maxilla.
Conclusion: The recessions were covered successfully with Geistlich Mucograft®. The gingival margin is stable. The tissue blending is excellent.
View at baseline of multiple recession-type defects. The contact points are splinted with composite for suspended sutures.
Tunnel preparation with tunneling instruments. The full-thickness dissection is made from the sulcular area to beyond the mucogingival line.
The papillae are tunnelised.
Geistlich Mucograft® is placed with the help of sutures on the right side.
Geistlich Mucograft® being placed under the tunnel in the same manner on the left side.
Geistlich Mucograft® is placed slightly above the cemento-enamel junction.
Geistlich Mucograft® on the left side.
The tunnel and the matrix placed and fixed in the coronal position with separated sutures suspended around the contact point.
