In this case report, the clinical results of a root-covering procedure using the double papilla technique combined with a partially epithelialized connective tissue graft in the treatment of gingival recession in an upper canine were shown after a 12-month follow-up. The technique demonstrated highly successful results in terms of 100% coverage of the defect, long-term stability, and aesthetics.
Gingival recessions are widely prevalent deformities that affect the normal position of the gingiva and cause exposure of the tooth root, and are often associated with unsatisfactory aesthetics and dentin hypersensitivity. The double papilla technique for root covering is a periodontal plastic surgery technique recommended for the treatment of gingival recessions. In this case report, we show the clinical results after a 12-month follow-up of a root-covering procedure in an upper canine affected by a gingival recession. A 56-year-old patient presenting a Cairo type I gingival recession on the vestibular surface of tooth 23 was treated with a one-stage surgical procedure, carried out using the double papilla technique in combination with a partially epithelialized connective tissue graft, reaching 100% root coverage. After a 12-month follow-up, this technique showed highly successful results both in 100% coverage of the defect and in long-term stability and aesthetics.
