Case Reports

Bridge Flap Technique for Root Coverage in Multiple Teeth Recession- Case Series
Preetika Bansal, Pardeep Bansal

Gingival recession in anterior teeth is of huge concern due to esthetic reasons. Root coverage is being achieved by a variety of mucogingival techniques. The presence of shallow vestibule, inadequate width of attached gingival, aberrant  frenum pull may pose a challenge to cover the denuded root surface for which several independent & effective surgical solutions are reported in the literature. This article reports three such cases of gingival recession, which have been treated with bridge flap technique. This technique can be used as a single surgical entity for covering multiple gingival recession defects, increasing depth of vestibule & also solving the problem of abnormal frenum pull, without a second surgical site. The treated cases demonstrated adequate root coverage & increase in width of attached gingival at 6 months follow up
Key words: bridge flap, root coverage, attached gingival, gingival recession, mucogingival surgery, coronally advanced flap
