Abstract

Gingival recession is a condition characterized by the apical displacement of the gingival margin relative to the cementoenamel junction; it is commonly associated with esthetic concerns and dentin hypersensitivity. We present a clinical case of a 49-year-old female patient presenting with multiple gingival recessions linked to vigorous toothbrushing and dental malposition. In the first phase of periodontal treatment, coronal scaling was performed, and oral hygiene instructions were provided. In the second phase, surgical procedures for root coverage were carried out using a connective tissue graft, a coronally advanced flap (CAF) combined with enamel matrix derivative, and CAF associated with platelet-rich fibrin. Postoperative follow-up was conducted at 6 months, during which the stability of root coverage was confirmed. An accurate diagnosis and proper treatment planning in the management of gingival recessions are essential to achieve successful root coverage through various techniques. © The Author(s) 2026.
