Abstract

Discolored teeth and loss of surrounding periodontal soft tissues can occur due to various factors, including abfraction, abrasion, erosion, and caries. Hard and soft tissue loss can result in enlarged gingival embrasures and increased crown length, causing aesthetic problems along with hypersensitivity. This clinical report describes the treatment of gingival recession with ceramics and customized gingival-colored composite to imitate the lost gingiva and to provide a natural anatomical tooth length. This method may be a minimally invasive alternative treatment method for gingival soft tissue loss, providing aesthetic results and patient satisfaction.
