We describe the clinical case of a 60-year-old female patient, healthy, who presented a 6mm-long recession on tooth 1.1 with extensive vestibular bone loss corresponding to an Elian class 3. In the present report, the steps followed to reach an Elian class 2,by means of a laterally moved flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft, are shown.
