A modified semilunar coronally advanced flap is described for the treatment of recession defects on multiple adjacent teeth.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Semilunar incisions were made apical to the recession defects, starting within mucosa and extended mesio\u2010distally, arching more coronally to terminate apical to the papillae mesial and distal to the teeth exhibiting the defects. The papilla between the teeth with recession was coronally advanced after a split\u2010thickness dissection and sutured more coronally, over the deepithelialized portion of the original papilla. The flap design gave better mobility and stability to the repositioned pedicle than previously described semilunar coronally advanced flap procedures.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Seven cases treated with this approach healed without complication and remained stable throughout the 8 to 22 months of post\u2010surgical observation.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> This technique will be particularly valuable when previous attempts for root coverage with soft tissue autografts have resulted in residual recession defects on adjacent teeth and in a thicker\u2010tissue biotype that would be amenable to partial\u2010thickness dissection. An adequate thickness of tissue that will allow a partial\u2010thickness flap dissection is required to avoid tooth or alveolar bone fenestrations. This technique provides better control over flap repositioning than previously described semilunar coronally advanced flaps.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2006.050426","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,28]],"date-time":"2006-06-28T14:21:49Z","timestamp":1151504509000},"page":"1274-1279","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Modified Semilunar Coronally Advanced Flap"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"77","author":[{"given":"Kamran","family":"Haghighat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"2001 American Academy of Periodontology Chicago American Academy of Periodontology 49"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1992.63.6.489"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1994.tb00278.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9416(77)90001-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1981.52.6.307"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1978.49.2.67"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1984.tb00911.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1997.tb01186.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1987.58.10.696"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1983.tb02208.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1992.tb01148.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1975.tb01721.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1968.39.2.65"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1966.37.6.491"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1956.27.2.92"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1977.48.1.41"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1965.36.4.305"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1973.44.9.564"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","first-page":"684","article-title":"Free transplantation of gingiva propria","volume":"22","author":"Bjorn H","year":"1963","journal-title":"Swed Dent J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(75)90076-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","first-page":"243","article-title":"Free gingival grafts","volume":"4","author":"Nabers JM","year":"1966","journal-title":"Periodontics"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","first-page":"5","article-title":"Free autogenous gingival grafts. 1.
