Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 25 patients with Millerâ??s class 1 and class 2 recession defects, will be enrolled to receive de- epithelialized gingival unit grafts underneath bridge flap technique. Plaque and gingival index will be scored at baseline after scaling, at 4 weeks and subsequently at every post surgical visit of the patient. Post-surgery, the patients will be recalled every two weeks for the first two months and once every month thereafter for 6 months. Recession depth, recession width, probing depth, keratinised gingiva width, clinical attachment level both at donor and recipient site will be recorded at baseline 1 month, 3 months, 6 months. Supra gingival polishing at each of these visits may be done as required. In addition a healing index for the donor site at 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks and an esthetic score for the recipient site at six months will be recorded.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: 25 Millerâ??s class 1 and class II recession defects associated with inadequacy of keratinised gingiva in mandibular anterior region. Exclusion criteria: 1. Smoker or tobacco chewing subjects 2. Pregnant subjects and subjects with systemic diseases or taking drugs which might influence healing after periodontal surgery
