The treatment consisted of bilaminar mucogingival surgery with a palatine graft and a collagen matrix graft (Mucograft, Geistlich). At 24 months, complete root coverage was achieved in all treated sites, with an increase of keratinized tissue (KT), complete resolution of hypersensitivity, and a high level of esthetic satisfaction. This case report shows that it is possible to correct multiple unesthetic recessions in one stage thanks to the combination of a connective tissue graft (CTG), a collagen matrix graft, and a coronally advanced flap (CAF).
