Discussion

Case report demonstrates 100% root coverage using a modified rotated flap with a tunnel approach for gingival recession.

The modified flap technique achieved 100% root coverage after one year, with no reported pain or sensitivity.
Key evidence includes a 6 mm recession at tooth 33 and 8 mm at tooth 43, treated with a connective tissue graft.
The approach implemented a double-component releasing incision and a tunnel flap for effective graft placement and coverage.
This case suggests potential benefits for single-surgery outcomes, but further studies are needed for validation.

Quan et al. (2025) studied this question.
