- Abstract
The purpose of this case report is to present the results of Fibrin Adhesive System (FAS) application, a topical biological tissue adhesive in the treatment of maxillary buccal recessions. A 40-year-old male patient presented with a pair of class I buccal recession defects on maxillary cuspids. Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months. Semilunar coronally repositioned flap (Tarnow's technique), root debridement, root conditioning with tetracycline hydrochloride solution and one of the defect was treated with FAS application. Significant recession, height reduction, and attachment gain were observed with the FAS application defect site. About 50% of root coverage was noted in the FAS-treated defect and almost no root coverage in the defect site with no FAS application. Semilunar coronally repositioned flap with FAS application is an effective procedure for root coverage in anterior teeth. The addition of FAS improves the amount of root coverage, especially in relatively shallow defects.
