This study evaluated the long\u2010term outcome of using a gingival cuff from the maxillary tuberosity area as a donor site for root coverage procedures.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Case 1: A 26\u2010year\u2010old female patient complaining of tooth hypersensitivity and gingival recession on the maxillary left canine was treated with root coverage using a pouch technique. A connective tissue graft was obtained from the gingival cuff of the maxillary tuberosity area. An additional gingivectomy was performed at 3 months after surgery to trim the bulk of the grafted tissue. Regular recall check\u2010up visits, including oral hygiene maintenance, occurred every 6 months. The patient was followed for 35 months after surgery. Case 2: A 24\u2010year\u2010old female patient with a chief complaint of tooth hypersensitivity and multiple areas of gingival recession in the maxilla was treated with a pouch and semilunar technique. The patient was treated with the same surgical protocol as in case 1. The patient was followed for 31 months after surgery.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Full coverage was achieved in both cases with uneventful healing. The gingival biotype changed from a thin scalloped biotype to a thick flat biotype, and the overall color match was successful. The histologic findings of case 1 revealed good adaptation of the grafted tissue with continuous epithelial lining into the recipient site. The grafted tissue remained consistently stable with no change in the probing depths.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The long\u2010term evaluation of root coverage with a gingival cuff of the maxillary tuberosity area showed it to be an easier method than obtaining the graft from palatal masticatory mucosa, with a highly predictable prognosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2008.070445","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,3]],"date-time":"2008-05-03T22:06:45Z","timestamp":1209852405000},"page":"934-940","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Histologic
