Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: a Age 18 TO 45 years of both gender b Presence of a single teeth with Cairo RT 1 facial Marginal tissue recession defects at least 2 mm and up to 5 mm in depth c Presence of at least 1mm of gingival thickness at the site d Presence of at least 2 mm and up to 4 mm of keratinized gingival tissue from mucogingival junction to marginal gingiva e Presence of identifiable buccal cementoenamel junction CEJ f Generally healthy participants. ASA 1 g Palatal mucosal thickness more or equal to 2.5mm as assessed by trans gingival probing which serve as donor site.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: a Pregnant and lactating women. b Recession defects associated with noncarious cervical lesions, c Mobility of teeth greater than Grade II Miller d Teeth exhibiting traumatic occlusion e Teeth with evidence of a pulpal pathology and non vital tooth. f Teeth that had periodontal surgical procedure for root coverage in the last 2 years. g Participants who are active smokers at the time of screening h Participants taking any drugs that modify gingival phenotype

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Gingival phenotype modification assessed by volumetric change using 3D intraoral scanner scanning the pre and post operative cast. Changes in the gingival thickness is assessed by transgingival probing at specific points Height of keratinized tissue width Time Frame baseline and at 6 months measured form the mid buccal aspect of the gingival margin to the mucogingival line Recession depth reduction Measured from the reference stent margin to the most apical extension of the gingival margin will be measured in mm Mean root coverage MRC calculate. Baseline RD minus 6 months RD divided by Baseline RD multiplied by 100 percentTimepoint: Baseline 3 months and 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pain assessment at the donor site Time Frame 7 days Wong Becker Scale Number of analgesic pills consumed per day Time Frame 1 to 7 days counting number of analgesics consumed per day as reported by the subject Root Coverage Esthetic score Baseline 6 months Complete root coverage CRC calculated as the percentage treated site with 100 percent coverageTimepoint: Baseline 3months and 6months
