Enxerto de tecido conjuntivo subepitelial para recobrimento radicular : relato de caso.

Abstract

The loss of periodontal insertion, called gingival recession, is a process that results from the total or partial migration of the gingival tissue on the vestibular or lingual face of the teeth. This exposure of the root surface in the oral environment causes many damages, such as abrasions, carious lesions and hypersensitivity of the root surface, besides great aesthetic commitment. Periodontal surgical treatments are indicated to minimize pain symptoms and aesthetic problems caused by gingival recessions. A treatment option, is the subepithelial graft of connective tissue. The objective of this study is to describe a clinical case of periodontal surgery through the technique of coronary repositioning associated with the connective tissue graft and compare the found results where two different techniques were used to remove tissue from the palate on a patient with Miller Class I gingival recession on 13 tooth and Miller Class II on 23 tooth. The patient, male, leucoderm skin, 20 years old, appeared at the Clinic of Dentistry of the Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul, complaining about the aesthetics of the upper canines. The obtained results were satisfactory in both techniques, each on with their positive and negative points.
