Recession Coverage
Single recession coverage with laterally moved coronally advanced flap
Aim: Root coverage combining Geistlich Mucograft® with laterally moved, coronally advanced flap.
Conclusion: The laterally moved, coronally advanced surgical technique was combined successfully with Geistlich Mucograft® to treat an isolated gingival recession. Gain in gingival thickness and keratinised tissue could be observed. A nice blending of colour and thickness of the surgically treated area with respect to adjacent soft tissues was seen.
Pre-operative clinical view of recession defect (tooth 41).
The root surface is planed and a split-thickness flap prepared (as described by Zucchelli et al 2004).
After de-epithelialisation of the papillae, the trimmed Geistlich Mucograft® is placed on the defect.
Geistlich Mucograft® is stabilised with 4 single sutures on the surgical bed.
The flap is moved laterally, advanced coronally and sutured completely covering the Geistlich Mucograft®.
Uneventful healing after 14 days.
Soft-tissue situation 3 months post-operative.
Occlusal view 3 months post-operative. Gain in gingival thickness can be observed.
