Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Recession reduction, assessed by the difference between cement enamel junction and gingival margin in baseline and 1 year follow-up. The recession is measured from the cemento- enamel junction (CEJ) to the most apical point of the gingival margin.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Complete root coverage measured at 6 months and 12 months after surgical procedure with a CP15 periodontal probe 2. Vestibular depth (the distance between the coronal margin of the attached gingiva and the greatest concavity of the mucobuccal fold below) measured at 6 months and 12 months after surgical procedure with a CP15 periodontal probe 3. Keratinized tissue increase (measuring one point in each tooth) measured at 6 months and 12 months after surgical procedure with a CP15 periodontal probe
