Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Tissue thickness. Timepoint: At least 6 months postoperatively. Method of measurement: Gingival thickness would be measured using a an endodontic spreader placed in the center of a silicone stopper and inserted perpendicularly from the midbuccal point (3 mm apical to the gingival margin) through the soft tissues to reach a hard surface. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Probing depth. Timepoint: At least 6 months postoperatively. Method of measurement: Probing depth would be measured at 4 points (mesial, distal, midbuccal, and midlingual) from the gingival margin to the bottom of the sulcus. Subsequently, a mean value of the measurements would be calculated for each tooth.;Bleeding on probing. Timepoint: At least 6 months postoperatively. Method of measurement: Bleeding on probing would be recorded within 60 seconds of probing depth measurement.;O’Leary plaque index. Timepoint: At least 6 months postoperatively. Method of measurement: Dental plaque tablets.;Gingival recession. Timepoint: At least 6 months postoperatively. Method of measurement: Gingival recession would be measured from gingival margin to the cementoenamel junction.;Vestibular depth. Timepoint: At least 6 months postoperatively. Method of measurement: Vestibular depth would be measured from the midbuccal gingival margin to the mucobuccal fold, while a retractor was placed in the mouth and teeth would be in occlusion. The periodontal probe would be held vertically across the vestibule in line with the axis of each tooth. | — |
