Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage of recession reduction. Timepoint: Baseline, 2 weeks, 2 months, and 6 months post-intervention. Method of measurement: Clinically, gingival recession is measured using a Williams periodontal probe from the cementoenamel junction to the gingival margin at the gingival zenith. The percentage of recession reduction after the intervention is calculated relative to the baseline recession.;Percentage of patients achieving complete root coverage. Timepoint: Baseline, 2 weeks, 2 months, and 6 months post-intervention. Method of measurement: The number of individuals whose gingival margin aligns with the cementoenamel junction after surgery, relative to the total number of participants in each group, will be assessed and expressed as a percentage.
