Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Current primary outcome measure as of 09/09/2021: 1. Recession Depth (RD) is measured by a UNC15 periodontal probe from a stable point (acrylic splint made for each patient) to the gingival margin at two time points: date of surgery, and after three months 2. Keratinized Tissue Width (KTW) is measured by a UNC15 periodontal probe at two time points: date of surgery, and after three months Previous primary outcome measure: 1. Recession Depth (RD): is measured by a UNC15 periodontal probe from a stable point (acrylic splint made for each patient) to the gingival margin at two time points: date of surgery, and after three months 2. Gingival Width (GW) :is measured by a UNC15 periodontal probe at two time points: date of surgery, and after three months	—
