ONE STEP SOLUTION FOR MULTIPLE MARGINAL TISSUE RECESSION IN THIN GINGIVAL BIOTYPE

Gingival recession is a common concern due to esthetic and root sensitivity especially in mandibular anterior teeth. Various treatment modalities and mucogingival techniques have been carried out for the treatment of recession. The presence of shallow vestibule, inadequate width of attached gingiva may pose a challenge for which several surgical solutions are reported in the literature. Bridge flap technique is one such technique that can be used as a single surgical entity for covering multiple gingival recession, along with increasing vestibular depth without a second surgical site. The treated cases showed adequate root coverage & increase in width of attached gingiva 12 months post operatively.
