Gingival Recession

Brief summary

Management of Miller class I & II gingival recession using coronally advanced flap combined with conventional de-epithelialized free gingival graft versus coronally advanced flap combined with abrasive de-epithelized connective tissue graft Null hypothesis: In patients with Miller class I and II gingival recession, there is no difference between coronally advanced flap with conventional de-epithelialized free gingival graft and coronally advanced flap with abrasive de-epithelized connective tissue graft in recession depth reduction.

Interventions

PROCEDUREcoronally advanced flap with abrasive de-epithelized graft.

SCTG will be harvested from the palate by abrasive de-epithelialization of palatal graft involves removing the epithelium of the selected area with a high-speed hand piece and diamond bur

PROCEDUREcoronally advanced flap with de-epithelized graft.

SCTG will be harvested from the palate by abrasive de-epithelialization of palatal graft involves removing the epithelium of the selected area with a blade

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Direct Post-operative pain7 daysDirectly will be evaluated post-surgically with Visual Analogue Scale with numbers from 0 to 10 that given to the patients at 7 days follow-up visits.
Indirect Post-operative pain7 daysIndirectly will be evaluated on the basis of the mean consumption of analgesics

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Gingival Recession Width6 monthsmeasured at the level of the CEJ.
Width Of Keratinized Gingiva6 monthsMeasured from the gingival margin to the mucogingival line
Complete Root Coverage6 monthsCRC evaluated in patients by single operator clinically using a periodontal probe. Root coverage was deemed complete when the gingival margin is at or above the level of CEJ
Gingival thickness6 monthsIt will be measured by penetrating the gingiva mid-buccally in the attached gingiva, half way between mucogingival junction and free gingival groove with the periodontal probe after giving local anesthesia to measure the thickness of gingival tissues.
Surgical chair timeat the time of surgerymeasured by Stop watch
Root Coverage Esthetic Score6 monthsThe RES system evaluates five variables 6 months following surgery
Recession depth.6 monthsMeasured from the CEJ to the most apical extension of the gingival margin
