Perio-plastic surgeries are a continuously evolving and expanding field of research. A multitude of options are available for root coverage. Connective tissue grafts are the gold standard but have limitations, including patient morbidity, invasiveness and scar formation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel minimally invasive coronally advanced tunnel (MI-CAT) technique for treatment of multiple recession-type defects (MRTD). The technique involves a muco-periosteal tunnel and stabilization of the advanced gingival margin by using orthodontic buttons as anchor units for two weeks postsurgery. After six months, enhanced root coverage (92.28%), excellent esthetics and significant improvement in periodontal parameters were achieved. The results indicate that the MI-CAT technique proved to be effective, minimally invasive and a predictable option for treatment of MRTD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
