Lateral closed tunnel (LCT) technique is particularly useful in isolated GR in mandibular anterior region, where the shallow vestibular depth prevents tension\u2010free coronal mobilization of tissues.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty patients with GR associated with tooth malposition were treated using a combined orthodontic\u2014periodontic approach with a torquing auxiliary spring followed by LCT technique.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The two techniques resulted in a combined recession depth reduction from 3.75 \u00b1 1.14\u00a0mm to 0.40 \u00b1 0.50\u00a0mm at the end of 6\u2010month study period. The orthodontic intervention led to an increase in labial marginal bone levels, as assessed through cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), while the LCT achieved closure of residual recession defect. Also, an increase of keratinized tissue width from 0.81 \u00b1 0.88\u00a0mm at baseline to 3.30 \u00b1 0.67\u00a0mm at 6\u00a0months was achieved.
