ABSTRACT
The modified tunneling technique with subepithelial connective tissue grafting is a periodontal plastic surgery procedure that allows root coverage of multiple recessions in correctly aligned teeth. We present a 22-year-old female patient, modelling profession, who came to the Periodontal consultation and reported a concern about her gums separating from her teeth. Alterations in the normal position of the gingiva in 31, 41 and 42 central and mandibular right lateral incisors were observed on clinical examination. Once the hygienic phase had been completed, a connective tissue graft was performed using the tunnel technique, which effectively covered the exposed root surfaces.REFERENCES
