This case report described a modified bilaminar technique for treating a single gingival recession. Patient presented a gingival\nrecession in a maxillary canine. Tooth was in a buccally prominent position and soft keratinized tissue apical to the recession\nwas reduced but still present. A split-full-split thickness trapezoidal flap was designed. Rootâ??s surface was prepared with curettes.\nEpithelial-connective tissue graft was harvested from the palate with reduced dimension. After deepithelialization, the graft was\nplaced with a fibrin-fibronectin system at the maximum root coverage level, and the flap coronally advanced and sutured. At 3-\nyear follow-up control, the free gingival margin was still stable at the postsurgery position, with a thicker biotype corresponding\nto the grafted area, with no probing and a suitable aesthetic result.
