Sumario: To describe a technique to cover a lingual recession. The technique involved elevating a coronally advanced partial thickness lingual pedicle flap and placing a subepithelial connective tissue graft beneath the flap and over the recession defect. Clinically significant amounts of root coverage were obtained (75%) and attachment gain was 5 mm. Root coverage of a lingual recession can be obtained with a subepithelial connective tissue graft placed under a coronally advanced partial thickness lingual pedicle flap.
