Several surgical techniques are reported for the treatment of gingival recession. Here we present a comparison of the conventional (coronally advanced flap) and semilunar coronally positioned flap techniques for root coverage in teeth with cervical abrasion restored with pink resin that mimics the color of the gingiva. Although the conventional technique is more predictable, we found that both techniques were effective in achieving satisfactory and esthetic root coverage.application/pdfAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 2.5 Colombiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/co/Comparison of conventional and semilunar coronally positioned flap techniques for root coverage in teeth with cervical abrasion restored with pink resinGingival recessionRoot coverageSurgical flapshttps://doi.org/10.2147/CCIDE.S119040Generación de Nuevo Conocimiento: Artículos publicados en revistas especializadas - Electrónicos
