Labial and buccal gingival recession is a common finding in the adult population, which can occur due to various factors. When present, it can lead to an unesthetic appearance and can cause hypersensitivity. However, very limited literature is available regarding the incidence of palatal gingival recession. Many times it goes unnoticed during routine clinical examinations. Although there are no esthetic concerns in these regions, recession can cause sensitivity and pose a technical challenge in surgical correction because of poor accessibility and visibility. This case reports the treatment of a single palatal recession defect using an epithelial embossed connective tissue graft. The 12-month follow-up of the case showed significant root coverage (93.6%) and decreased sensitivity. The advantage of the harvested graft was that the connective tissue was not exposed, as it was tucked into the underlying flap, and the mucosal contour was maintained.
唇侧和颊侧牙龈退缩在成年人群中很常见，可能由多种因素引起。一旦出现，它会导致外观不美观，并可能引起过敏。然而，关于腭侧牙龈退缩发生率的文献非常有限。在常规临床检查中，它很多时候未被注意到。虽然这些区域不存在美观问题，但牙龈退缩会引起过敏，并且由于难以接近和观察，在手术矫正时会带来技术挑战。本病例报告了使用上皮压纹结缔组织移植治疗单个腭侧退缩缺损的情况。该病例12个月的随访显示牙根显著覆盖（93.6%）且过敏症状减轻。所采集移植物的优点是结缔组织未暴露，因为它被折叠到下方的瓣中，并且维持了黏膜外形。
