LATERALLY MOVED, CORONALLY ADVANCED FLAP: A MODIFIED SURGICAL APPROACH FOR ISOLATED RECESSION- A CASE REPORT

Gingival recession is a common clinical condition that brings esthetic discomfort, sensitivity, among other problems. Complete root coverage is considered the true goal of treatment of gingival recession defects because only complete coverage assures recovery from the hypersensitivity and esthetic defects associated with recession areas. The laterally moved, coronally advanced flap technique or root coverage yields a higher percentage of complete root coverage upon gingival recession treatment. In the case reported in this paper, we aimed the root coverage in Miller’s class II by means of a modified surgical approach of the laterally positioned flap technique.
