Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the complete/extent of root coverage (CRC) percentage in multiple adjacent gingival recessions (Millers class I and II or Cairo’s RT1) at baseline and 6 months after surgery using MCAT technique with de-epithelialized FGG and MCAT with SCTGTimepoint: Baseline and 6 months after surgery	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare clinical parameters like Mean root coverage (MRC) , Keratinized tissue width (KTW), Gingival recession depth (RD), Gingival recession width (RW) and width of attached gingiva (WAG) in multiple adjacent gingival recessions (Millers class I and II or Cairo’s RT1) at baseline and 6 months after surgery using MCAT technique with de-epithelialized FGG and MCAT with SCTG. Timepoint: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months	—
