Root coverage
"Treatment of gingival recession, Miller\'s Class I or Cairo\'s RT1, which is the most predictable group to receive interventions without any impairment or problem for the patients.~After local anesthesia, a horizontal incision was made, delimitating the coronal part of the flap. This horizontal incision of the envelope flap consists of an oblique submarginal incision in the interdental areas that creates a surgical papilla. The incisions continue with the intrasulcular incision in the recession defects and are extended to form an envelope flap between the central and molar. This design facilitates the planned coronal repositioning of the flap tissue on the exposed root surfaces.~The apical gingival tissue at root exposures is raised to a full thickness to provide the critical part of the flap for root coverage with more thickness. Finally, the most apical portion of the flap is elevated in a split-thickness to facilitate coronal displacement of the flap."
