Muscle Evicted Tunneling Approach (META) with Crossed Belt & Suspenders Sutures (CBS) for Mandibular Incisor Root Coverage: A Proof of Concept

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the META technique with CBS sutures for root coverage of mandibular incisors.
• Utilized muscle evicted tunneling approach
• Employed crossed belt and suspenders sutures to stabilize the flap
• Targeted RT1 and RT2 defects on mandibular incisors
• Achieved coronal positioning of the flap margin without vertical releases
• Improved esthetic outcomes were observed
• Enhanced functional results noted in case of compromised vestibule depth and muscle pull
