Gingival recession of Miller's class II Oral Health Gingival recession

Interventions

This study will try a new surgical technique to cover Miller's class II gingival recession. Those patients are usually treated by free gingival graft harvested of the palate to increa

this way one graft includes free gingival graft and connective tissue graft connected together. Participants will receive the traditional technique (free gingival graft) for one side

throwing a dice, if less than or equal to 3, the right side of patient's mouth will be treated by the new technique (combined gingival graft), if greater than 3, the right side will be treated by trad

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Current primary outcome measure as of 18/02/2020: 1. Gingival recession measured by periodontal probe from a stable point (acrylic splint made for each patient) to the gingival margin at three time points: date of surgery, after one month, and after 3 months) 2. Width of attached gingiva measured by periodontal probe at three time points: date of surgery, after one month, and after 3 months _____ Previous primary outcome measure: 1. Gingival recession measured by periodontal probe from a stable point (acrylic splint made for each patient) to the bottom of gingival sulcus at three time points: date of surgery, after one month, and after 3 months 2. Width of attached gingiva measured by periodontal probe at three time points: date of surgery, after one month, and after 3 months	—
