Gingival reattachment on carious tooth surfaces

Abstract

This paper reports the healing after 4 years of a flap coronally repositioned over carious lesions on teeth 23 and 24. Four years postoperatively, the gain of clinical gingival attachment was 4 mm for tooth 23 and 3.6 mm for tooth 24. The carious lesions were covered by soft tissue and a gain of clinical gingival attachment was obtained.
