Abstract

Objective  To evaluate the clinical effect of treatment of multiple gingival recession with coronally advanced modified tunnel technique combined with connective tissue graft. Methods  A case of multiple gingival recession was treated with coronally advanced modified tunnel technique combined with connective tissue graft. The clinical effect of the surgical procedure was evaluated by comparing clinical images, clinical examinations, and subjective feeling of the patient. Advantages and disadvantages of different surgical methods for the treatment of multiple gingival recession were discussed according to reviewing literature. Results  Comparison of clinical images and clinical examinations indicated that by adopting this surgical method, the root surface of recession area was almost completely covered, the color and texture of the gum matched surrounding tissue, and ideal appearance was achieved. At the same time, the hot and cold sensitive symptoms of the patient were also alleviated remarkably. Conclusion  The coronally advanced modified tunnel technique combined with connective tissue graft is a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of multiple gingival recession.
