Abstract

Introduction: Several gingival recession coverage techniques have been introduced over the past years with the aim to restore the gingival recession defect, achieve tissue regeneration and to enhance patients’ aesthetics. Depending on the anatomical condition of the donor site in immediate vicinity to single or multiple gingival recessions, the following covering methods were described: sliding step’s flap, rotating flap, papilla rotating flap and double papilla repositioned flap. Recession coverage on dental implants may be done for better esthetics and to prevent the onset of biofilm-induced periimplant mucositis or periimplantitis.
Aim: The present case report demonstrate the stability of the obtained results 12 months after palatal recession coverage on dental implants using a laterally displaced double graft technique.
Case presentation: A 38-year-old female patient reported with soft-tissue recession on the palatal aspect of a dental implant in the maxillary right first premolar region. The palatal recession was caused due to the necrosis of the palatal split-thickness flap done previously when exposing the implant for healing abutment placing.
Conclusion: The technique combines the advantage of a pedicle graft and that of a bilaminar technique using a subepithelial connective tissue graft imposing itself as a superior protocol for a long term result in the treatment of localized palatal recessions on single implants.

Keywords: gingival recession, implant exposure, coverage technique, double pedicle flap, lateral flap.
