ABSTRACT
Among different surgical procedures, the Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel (MCAT) technique has been studied to increase gingival dimensions and effectively achieve coverage of the denuded root surface area and enduring stability. The regular usage of Subepithelial connective tissue graft along with MCAT, has been suggested by many authors, which is considered as a standard means of building up the soft tissue to achieve the best coverage as possible of recessions and increasing the phenotypical width. Also, the muscular pull caused by insufficient vestibular depth can sometimes be a culprit behind the onset of gingival recession, which can be corrected by vestibuloplasty. Thus, in this case report, multiple gingival recessions were treated by Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel (MCAT) technique with Sub-epithelial Connective Tissue Graft (SCTG).
