ABSTRACT

Gingival recession, particularly in the anterior teeth, can lead to functional and aesthetic concerns. It can cause aesthetic deterioration, dentin hypersensitivity, and difficulties in maintaining proper oral hygiene. Multiple surgical methods have been utilized to treat gingival recession. This article presents a case where the lateral pedicle technique combined with a Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft (SCTG) was successfully utilized to cover the exposed root surface of a single tooth. The adjacent soft tissue was repositioned over the recession defect, resulting in the establishment of an aesthetically pleasing and healthy periodontium, with positive patient satisfaction. Significant root coverage was achieved through this procedure, demonstrating its clinical effectiveness.
