Journal Title: International Journal of Oral and Dental Health - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study was to propose a new modified lateral positioned flap for root coverage of unfavorable gingival phenotype. The patient reported a dentine hypersensitivity and esthetic complaint in tooth 41 related to the gingival recession: "U"-shaped gingival contour, class II and type IV periodontium of "Miller" and "Maynard & Wilson" classifications, respectively. There was neither accident nor surgical complications. We observed a creeping reattachment between 3 and 6 months postoperative with an increasing in the periodontal attachment during the 18 months of follow-up. Total root coverage and the complete remission of dentin hypersensitivity were achieved.
