Button assisted coronally advanced flap -a new treatment approach for multiple recession

Esthetics has become an essential criterion of the overall treatment plan in dentistry that comprises of a healthy and beautiful smile at any age. The objective of this case report is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new treatment approach which consists of coronally advanced flap procedure combined with orthodontic button application. The clinical and biological advantages were the preservation of the blood supply as the vertical releasing incisions were avoided. Here we used orthodontic buttons to maximize the stabilization of the immediate postoperative flap location. Three months postoperative results showed that the technique is a very effective approach even in the treatment of Miller’s Class III recession defects.
