The retromolar area could be an alternative donor site, especially when a distal wedge procedure is planned. This approach offers an alternative CT donor site for the treatment of a localized gingival recession (GR).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Case Presentation:<\/jats:bold> A healthy 22\u2010year\u2010old female patient presented with a localized Miller Class II GR defect on a mandibular incisor (tooth #25) caused by trauma from a lip piercing. Probing depths of 6 mm were also noted bilaterally over the distal aspect of the mandibular second molars. A root coverage procedure was performed, together with a distal wedge procedure for pseudopocket reduction. A CT graft harvested from a distal wedge was used for the root coverage. Complete root coverage with stable follow\u2010up was documented up to 2 years, 5 months. Tissue from a contralateral distal wedge was submitted for histologic evaluation. Histopathologic examination showed dense collagenous fibrous tissue with no inflammatory infiltrates.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Localized GR can be treated with a CT graft harvested from a distal wedge without significant inflammation. The mandibular retromolar area may serve as an alternative viable donor site in selected cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/cap.2016.150070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,25]],"date-time":"2016-01-25T09:41:04Z","timestamp":1453714864000},"page":"134-139","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Root Coverage Procedure With Connective Tissue Graft Harvested From a Distal Wedge: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Chin\u2010Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chia\u2010Cheng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Walter","family":"Krawczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David M.","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cden.2015.06.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.12182"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2015.130674"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1985.56.12.715"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1997.68.2.145"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2001.72.11.1572"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2008.070445"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","first-page":"643","article-title":"Clinical showcase.
