Subepithelial graft of connective tissue using Langer and Langer technique for the treatment of gingival recessions. Rev. Odont. Mex [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.3, pp.165-170.

One of the short term goals of mucogingival surgery is to accomplish complete root coverage in teeth with gingival recession, in order to reduce root sensibility and improve dental esthetics. Multiple surgical alternatives have been proposed to preserve the residual tissue and blood supply around the defect. The purpose of this article was to present a clinical case (report to one year) using the surgical technique of subepithelial graft of connective tissue and coronal graft for the treatment of two gingival recessions Miller class II.
