Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Gingival recession depth measured using a UNC-15 probe at baseline, 1, 3, 6 months 2. Gingival recession width measured using a UNC-15 probe at baseline, 1, 3, 6 months 3. Keratinized Tissue Thickness measured using an anesthesia needle attached to a silicone disc stop at base line, 3 , 6 months. | — |
