Coronally advanced flap design in management of isolated gingival recession: A case series

Abstract

Coronally Advanced flap is one of the most common procedures that are done for recession coverage because of ease of doing and yielding good results as compared to other techniques. A total of 10 systemically stable participants, both males & females between the ages of 20-60 with recession defects in maxillary canines and premolar Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months including: GI, PI, PPD, CAL, RL, RW, WKG and % root coverage. At 6 months postoperative, 80% of the treated sites achieved 100% root coverage. Based on clinical results, Coronally advanced flap technique could be considered as one of the possible treatment options for isolated gingival recession with good esthetic and patient satisfaction.
