Recobrimento radicular utilizando a técnica do retalho semilunar reposicionado coronalmente : estudo de caso.

Abstract

Gingival Recession is the displacement of the gum to an unusual position, in relation to the cemento-enamel junction due to different etiological factors, which affect the gums and cause its inflammation. With this, problems such as dentin hypersensitivity, greater development of caries in the exposed part and loss of aesthetic pattern are found. Root Coating aims to solve these problems that affect the periodontum. This study aims to describe a clinical case of semilunar flap repositioned coronalmente, a technique developed by Tarnow, with the purpose of root covering in a patient with gingival recession Type I, Cairo (2011), in dental element 24. This study was collaborated through the participation of a female patient, leucoderma, 41 years old, who attended the Dentistry Clinic of the University of Santa Cruz do Sul, during the Extension Course in Periodontics, in 2019, reporting dentinal hypersensitivity, which he perceived during the day-to-day due to the different thermal exposures that that element was submitted, and aesthetic dissatisfaction due to radiation exposure. It was completed as planning, the adoption of the Tarnow technique (1985). Through this surgical technique, it was possible to return aesthetics, reestablishing the gingival height pattern, reducing the accumulation of plaque, facilitating the hygiene of the dental cervical region, also allowing the reduction of dentinal hypersensitivity. The surgical technique, used in this case report, proved to be efficient as a form of treatment, because the results were satisfactory taking into account the ease of the procedure, its low cost and its good performance in covering the root surface of the exposed area, thus reducing dentinal sensitivity, also returning the physiological function of the treated element, bringing greater comfort to the patient.
