Abstract

Treatment of gingival recessions using periodontal plastic surgery procedures is routinely required in modern dentistry. The ultimate goal of these procedures is complete root coverage and pleasing aesthetic results. The literature shows that the coronal advancement flap + connective tissue graft could be considered as the “gold standard” for the treatment of single gingival recessions. However, in the lower arch we can find anatomical limitations that prevent us from performing conventional mucogingival surgery techniques. In this work we present and describe the treatment of single and multiple gingival recessions that affect the lower anterior zone, which were treated using the modified Edlan-Mejchar technique. The use of the modified Edlan-Mejchar technique shows positive results to treat gingival recessions in the mandibular anterior area.
