Eligibility

Age
No minimum to 0 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Pacients non- smokers, age > 18 years old, no systemic diseases or conditions that could affect periodontal health or healing ( ASA 1 or ASA2 Only), no Periodontal Disease, good oral hygiene (full mouth plaque index, and gingival index < 20%), identifiable cementum-enamel junction and able and willing to provide informed consent for the surgery and study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Voluntary withdrawal , Non compliance with study protocol, smokers or former smokers, pregnancy or lactation, previous surgical root coverage treatment , recession defects associates with caries or restoerations, history of destructive disease in the area of interest, systemic healing disorders ( e.g., AIDS, diabetes mellitus,tooth with deep extensive erosion or abrasion, tooth severely malpositioned that may cause papillae height loss(i.e. malposition, rotations and versions, occlusal interferences or without antagonist)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Decrease of recession depth, measured with a periodontal probe and defined as a distance from de CEJ to the gingival margin along the tooth axis, at 12 months follow up and expressed in millimeters

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage of root coverage, assessed using a periodontal probe and by measuring gingival margin positioning before and after 3, 6 and 12 months of the surgical intervention, and expressed in percentage.;Frequency of complete root coverage, clinically assessed by observation of the gingival margin after 3, 6 e 12 months after the surgical intervention.;keratinized tissue width assessed by measuring the width of keratinaized tissue stained with lugol, before the surgery and 3, 6 and 12 month after the surgery and expressed in millimeters.;Gingival or mucosal thickness, assessed by a acrylic guide , measuring distinct regions in each tooth involved in the surgery with a periodontal probe, expressed in millimeters.
