Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) A Saviour to Regain Smile Following Complication of Modified Whales Tail Technique

Abstract

The etiology of gingival recession is multi-factorial while the treatment of gingival recession is based on the assessment of etiological factors and the amount of tissue involved. Modified Whale’s tail technique can be used to access the intra-bony defect following the placement of the required graft to achieve closure of the defect. The purpose of this case report is to describe the complication following modified Whale’s tail technique to achieve primary closure and thereby, leading to gingival recession in relation to right central incisor and its management with connective tissue graft (CTG) by creating a pouch in the interdental region of maxillary central incisors.
