Gum recession, the loss of tissue between gums and teeth, can result in root exposure. Factors include poor tooth position and inadequate hygiene. Cairo et al. (2018) proposed a classification based on the evaluation of the phenotype, the severity of the recession and the presence of associated cervical lesions. Various therapeutic approaches, such as bone grafts and collagen membranes, are used to treat gingival recession. Patient A.B.P, 37 years old, female, came to the clinic with the main complaint “I have sensitivity in my lower tooth”. In the intraoral clinical evaluation, the presence of calculus was found and periodontal examinations were diagnosed with unitary gingival recession type 2 (RT2) in element 41. The objective of this report is to describe the sequence of a clinical case, in which the surgical technique of coverage was used. root with absorbable collagen membrane biomaterial associated with synthetic bone graft in element 41. Finally, the single coverage of the root with biomaterials was successful in terms of healing, postoperative discomfort and gain of keratinized tissue, with regeneration of the point from a clinical point of view, improving gingival retraction, exceeding professional and patient expectations.
