Why Does the Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft Remain as the Gold Standard Therapy for the Treatment of Gingival Recession Defects?

Root coverage (RC) and periodontal soft tissue augmentation procedures have long been used for the treatment of gingival recession (GR) and mucogingival deformities around natural teeth. In daily practice, clinicians must deal with diverse clinical scenarios and provide the most adequate treatment options for each particular condition. These decisions are based on the best available evidence, the clinician’s skills, and the patient's desires. This lecture will provide an overview of evidence-based principles for managing GR and offer important clinical insights into why the use of a subepithelial connective tissue graft (plus a coronally advanced flap) has remained the gold standard therapy for over four decades.
