title: Subepithelial connective tissue graft: an alternative application for treating endoperiodontal lesions.
abstract: This article presents an endoperiodontal lesion treated with a subepithelial connective tissue graft technique using periosteum. A patient with a right lateral maxillary incisor that had been retracted endodontically had gingival fenestration and recession, as well as an extensive apical lesion. Surgery was performed, and 5 months later a metal-ceramic crown was installed. At 6 years post-treatment, the periodontal tissues were stable and there was satisfactory new apical bone formation.
