Abstract

Extensive gingival recession associated with cervical abrasions is common. Several different surgical and/or restorative therapies have been proposed to correct these lesions. This paper reports the treatment of multiple gingival recessions associated with shallow root caries. The procedure involved utilization of coronally advanced flap. At the postoperative follow-up visits, the success of the surgical approach was confirmed by the absence of tooth sensitivity and presence of gingival tissue with normal colour, texture and contour. After 12 months of follow-up, the clinical conditions were stable with satisfactory root coverage and periodontal health. An excellent aesthetical outcome was achieved and the patient was satisfied with the outcome.
