| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of the clinical parameters keratinized tissue width, bleeding on probing, probing depth, clinical attachment level, gingival thickness, and gingival phenotype measured with a periodontal probe before surgery and six months after root coverage.;Reduction on the patient-reported outcome measures such as discomfort, pain, swelling, bleeding, and ecchymosis, evaluated by a questionnaire. | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction in the recession depth measured in millimeters with clinical periodontal probe from gingival margin to cemento–enamel junction at the mid-buccal site before surgery and six months after root coverage. | — |
