Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 15 healthy nonsmoker adults with good oral hygiene who had not used antibiotics within the six preceding months For the split mouth surgery, the two recipient areas on the two sides as well as the surrounding area of each tooth (incisor, canine, or premolar), the two adjacent distal and mesial teeth had to be free of gingivitis and periodontitis (<15% plaque index and gingival index), bone resorption, and <3mm pocket depth. There was <2mm keratinized gingiva on the buccal or labial side of the tooth, and adequate vestibule depth on the desired site. One side was to be treated with CTG as the test group and the other side to be treated with FGG as the control group.The donor site was the hard palate with available palate arch and at least 5 mm soft tissue on the bone.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: exclusion criteria were smoking, pregnancy, systemic diseases, use of antibiotics within the six preceding months, and lack of postoperative cooperation in maintaining oral hygiene or attending the follow-up sessions
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of color adaptation and width of keratizied gingiva gain in 2 surgical techniques. Timepoint: Evaluation of width of gingiva befor surgery and 6 month after intervation, evaluation of color 6 month after surgery. Method of measurement: The color of the grafted areas was determined and compared by using both professional evaluation and digital evaluation. The professional evaluation was done by two blind examiners through Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The CIE (LAB) and LUT (RGB) color indices were used to compare the color of the two areas and the background color. This system allows the calculation of ?E (Euclidean Distance) which is a criterion to compare the color between two areas, and also color matching between two areas (test or control) and the adjacent gingiva. | — |
