@entity8407 is a predominantly white lesion of the oral mucosa that cannot be clinicopathologically characterized as any other @entity75 . Any oral site may be affected by @entity12120 , the most common sites being @entity14705 , floor of the mouth, tongue, lips, and palate. To date there is no evidence of effective treatment of @entity8407 that may prevent recurrence. This case report describes a new surgical technique using a bilaminar connective tissue graft in the treatment of @entity8407 . During the regular periodontal recall visit, the clinical diagnosis of @entity12120 at the maxillary left sextant was established in a 45-year-old @entity1 . Histopathologic analysis suggested reactive @entity5656 . The @entity1 agreed to a new surgical treatment of the lesion. Under local anesthesia a 20-mm-long bilaminar connective tissue graft was interposed between the affected tissue and the bone. Healing was followed by the disappearance of the white lesion within the borders of the underlying graft. Five years after therapy, the treated area remained intact, with no clinical sign of recurrence.
