ABSTRACT

Introduction: gingival recession is defined as the apical displacement of the gingival margin beyond the cementum-enamel junction. It has been described that prosthetic-adhesive protocols can lead to gingival tissue recession. The following describes the treatment of gingival recession associated with the introduction of 37% phosphoric acid using a coronally advanced flap and subepithelial connective tissue graft. Case report: a 53-year-old female patient presented to the dental clinic for the treatment of a Cairo type 1 gingival recession. The apparent etiology was a spillage of 37% phosphoric acid during the cementation of dental veneers. The recipient site was prepared using a coronally advanced flap technique. A connective tissue graft was obtained and subsequently placed subepithelially and sutured at the recipient site. After six months, complete coverage of the gingival recession was observed, along with a decrease in dental hypersensitivity. Conclusion: the combination of coronally advanced flap and subepithelial connective tissue graft is an appropriate alternative for the treatment of gingival recessions associated with acute chemical injuries.
