Root Coverage of Class III Recession using Free Gingival Graft using Novel Root Coverage Esthetic Score
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
ABSTRACT A variety of regenerative procedures has been used for the correction of gingival recession defects. However, root coverage can be quite challenging in cases of deep and wide Miller’s class III recession defects. Free Gingival Graft (FGG) technique has been the most preferred choice of treatment in cases of an inadequate width of attached gingiva. But currently, due to various drawbacks of FGG, and versatility of connective tissue grafts and other new techniques, FGG’s status as the most sought-after procedure in periodontal plastic surgeries has been eluded. The present case highlights a case of class III gingival recession which was successfully treated with this technique with postoperative evaluation using Root coverage Esthetic Score (RES) scores.
