Abstract

This study introduces the Anterograde Minimally Invasive Technique (AMIT) as a new perspective for treating gingival recession, offering substantial advantages over traditional techniques, particularly the classic tunneling technique.
The choice of starting the incision on the non-adherent mucosa in AMIT reflects a commitment to precision and minimized disruption. This targeted initiation may contribute to a more controlled surgical process, potentially reducing the risk of unintended tissue damage.
The proposed technique's unique incision point prompts considerations of its adaptability across various cases of gingival recession. In conclusion, the shift in the incision point from the free gingival edge in MITT introduces a novel perspective with potential benefits in tissue preservation, aesthetics, precision, and patient experience.
