Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Gingival recession presents both esthetic and functional challenges, especially when compounded by underlying structural defects such as internal root resorption. This case report describes the successful treatment of a single gingival recession defect in the maxillary firstpremolar region using a coronally advanced flap (CAF) combined with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) in a tooth diagnosed with severe internal resorption. Root canal therapywas completed prior to periodontal surgery. The CAF+CTG approach was selected to achieve root coverage, enhance tissue thickness, and provide long-term stability.At the 6-month follow up, maximum root coverage,satisfactory aesthetics, and significant clinical attachment gain were observed.
