Microsurgical Instruments and Magnification May Enhance Treatment Outcomes Of Laterally Moved, Coronally Advanced Flap in Miller Class III Isolated Recession Defects

The recipient area for the laterally moved flap was prepared. When the flap was moved in the distal-mesial direction another short horizontal incision was performed at the most apical extension of this vertical incision. Once the mucogingival line was reached, flap elevation was continued split-thickness. Flap elevation was terminated when it was possible to passively move the flap laterally above the exposed root. Flap was sutured.
