Gingival recession is one of the most popular periodontal diseases. Aesthetics and hypersensitivity are two major concerns
with recession. Although there are multiple treatment options, minimally invasive techniques have recently received much
attention due to better patient acceptance and pretty much identical outcomes/results when compared to traditional
standard treatment options. Here, we report a case of 34-year-old male patient who presented with the chief complaint
of sensitivity to warm and cold in the left upper front tooth region. A 2mm hole was created and a full thickness flap was
elevated from the apical side of the tooth towards marginal gingiva, leaving the interdental papilla intact. After relieving
the gingiva from beneath, it was sutured to the tooth as an anchorage. Many allogenic materials have been used to replace
the space between the flap and bone underneath. The prognosis was fair for this procedure. However, the efficacy of a
Novel Volume stabilizing collagen matrix with a modified Pinhole technique is unknown. This report has shown promising
results for the treatment of Miller's Class I and II gingival recession.
