Aim and background: Gingival recession (GR) may be a complex case that will display various restorative challenges to the clinician.Coronally positioned flap (CPF) with amniotic membrane (AM) has shown recession coverage with satisfactory esthetic results.The goal of the case was to obtain complete root coverage (RC) utilizing an AM.Case description: A 40-year-old male patient reported to the Department of Periodontology, with a chief complaint of downward movement of gums of lower left front tooth region for the last 6 months, which was esthetically unacceptable to him.He also expressed concern about sensitivity in the affected tooth.Upon evaluation, using a UNC-15 periodontal probe, the mandibular left canine exhibited a 2 mm deep and 5 mm wide vertical GR.The use of an AM in conjunction with a CPF was selected as the treatment approach.Conclusion: The postoperative assessment revealed almost complete RC accompanied by an increase in gingival thickness.Coronally positioned flap with AM effectively treats localized GR, restoring labial gingival function and reinforcing keratinized tissue integrity.Clinical significance: Amniotic membrane, rich in growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins, supports faster healing and better tissue integration.When combined with CPF, it offers a minimally invasive, regenerative approach with improved gingival thickness and predictable esthetic results.
