Abstract

<jats:p>Because of aesthetic concerns or root sensitivity, gingival recession in anterior teeth is frequently of concern. For aesthetic reasons, gingival recession is extremely concerning, particularly in cases when there are several anterior teeth involved. Root coverage is possible by a variety of mucogingival procedures. This case study introduces a novel bridge flap technique that enables the dentist to enlarge the zone of attached gingiva while simultaneously covering the previously exposed root surfaces. A root coverage procedure was done in this instance to address a multiple recession type defect using a coronally advanced flap and vestibular deepening approach. To widen the associated gingiva in this instance, vestibular deepening technique is employed. An aesthetically healthy periodontium, increased keratinized tissue, and positive patient acceptance are all outcomes of this procedure's predictability.</jats:p>
