Innovations in surgical techniques have improved the esthetic outcome and predictability of root coverage procedures in recent years. A free gingival graft (FGG) augments the attached gingiva, but the compromised blood supply precludes its use in root coverage. In the surgical technique described in this case report, the FGG kept over a laterally placed periosteal flap enhanced the outcome. A laterally flipped periosteal flap was adapted over the root surface using resorbable sutures. The free graft was secured at the recipient site with cyanoacrylate adhesive, and adaptation was ensured with suspensory sutures. Satisfactory root coverage was appreciated and maintained at 6 months with excellent functional outcomes. Adequate width of the attached gingiva and vestibular depth were also noticed at the recipient site. The patient was highly satisfied with the obtained results, which were maintained until the 1‑year postoperative period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
