Shallow localized gingival recession defects treated with modified coronally repositioned flap technique: A case series.

OBJECTIVES

Various coronally repositioned flap (CRF) techniques have been proposed for coverage of gingival recession defects. Although CRF has several modifications all of them needs vertical or oblique external releasing incisions for treatment of localized gingival recession defects. The aim of present article was to evaluate the effectiveness of a modification of the new CRF procedure without any releasing incision for treatment of shallow localized gingival recession defects.

CONCLUSION

Shallow localized gingival recession defects can be treated with modified coronally repositioned flap technique successfully.
