• A 45-year-old woman needing a Class V restoration in a mandibular molar without attached gingiva is presented. In an interdisciplinary intervention, transurgical restoration was accomplished, including flap surgery with a slight ostectomy and restoration with a bonding system and a resin composite. A 1-year clinical evaluation showed satisfactory marginal adaptation and restoration contour associated to gingival tissue health.
