Root Recession Coverage

Case Study 9

This patient received a treatment to improve their gum line using a technique called the Zucchelli technique, combined with a connective tissue graft.

The Zucchelli technique involves carefully moving healthy gum tissue from the area around the tooth to cover exposed tooth roots, especially in the front of the lower jaw. This helps restore a natural-looking gum line and prevents further gum recession. The connective tissue graft uses a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth, which is placed in the treated area to help the gums heal and stay healthy.

The patient was over the moon with the results, seeing a dramatic improvement in both the appearance and health of their gums, and they were thrilled with their new smile!
