Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of root coverage over a two-year interval, verified by the method of measuring residual gingival recession of treated teeth, in millimeters and subsequently converted into a percentage, to observe which surgical technique obtained the best result. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Decrease in gingival recession in the interval of two years after treatment, verified using the measurement method in millimeters.;Increase in the keratinized tissue width two years after treatment, verified using the measurement method in millimeters.;Decrease in the clinical attachment loss in the interval of two years, verified by the method of measuring the clinical attachment level, in millimeters. ;Increase of gingival thickness within two years after treatment, verified by the measurement method in millimeters. | — |
