The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) for the treatment of gum recessions, as well as to achieve functional and aesthetic results. Materials and methods: the study was conducted at the MIA Clinic in St. Petersburg from July to September 2023. The study involved 6 adult non–smoking patients who were diagnosed with 13 cases of grade I-III gum recessions according to the Miller classification. The treatment was performed using a combination of modified coronary flap displacement (CAF) and SCTG techniques. A CO2 laser was used to deepithelize the graft, and donor tissues were taken from the palate and maxillary tubercle. Patients underwent clinical examinations within 28 days after surgery, during which the depth of recession and the degree of root coverage were assessed. Results. Successful healing without complications was observed in all patients. 12 months after surgery, the depth of the recession decreased significantly, and full root coverage was observed in 5 out of 13 cases. The average percentage of root coverage was 41%, with an increase in tissue by 2.9±0.3 mm. Conclusions. A subepithelial connective tissue graft in combination with the use of a CO2 laser has shown high efficacy in the treatment of gum recessions, providing significant improvement in root coverage and tissue regeneration. Nevertheless, there are unresolved issues that require further study in order to optimize techniques and improve the quality of life of patients.
