Otho- Perio Interrelationship In Treatment Of Localised Miller Class I Gingival Recession With Free Gingival Graft: A Case Report

Abstract

Gingival recession is a widespread periodontal issue that can be influenced by a variety of factors. It is necessary to achieve root coverage according to the patients' aesthetic concerns. Root coverage is achieved using a combination of grafting procedures and flap designs, such as the lateral pedicle flap, double papilla flap, oblique rotated flap, free gingival graft (FGG), coronally advanced flap (CAF), semilunar coronally repositioned flap, and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG). Since 1968, when Sullivan and Atkins first identified them, free gingival grafts have been used to treat gingival recession. In this procedure, the graft is mounted directly on the recession site. In class I miller recession cases, this technique aids adequate success.

In this case report, a 22-year-old female patient was diagnosed with Miller class I gingival recession while seeking orthodontic treatment. For root coverage, a free gingival graft was used. The results obtained were satisfactory
