Core Tip	Intrabony defects beneath non-keratinized mucosa frequently occur at the distal of terminal molars, thereby rendering standard regenerative therapy considered impractical. Consequently, we devised a surgical strategy tailored to this specific scenario. By making a vertical incision in the keratinized buccal gingiva, we were able to separate distal non-keratinized soft tissue in a tunnel-like manner, exposing the defect. Regenerative therapy was effectively administered, offering a promising avenue for teeth with non-keratinized mucosa above intrabony defects.
