Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Part I - Age more than 18 years old who needs a periodontal soft tissue graft treatment - No contra-indicatory to the surgery - Single gingival recession at buccal sites of single root teeth classified as RT1 or RT2 by Cairo, 2011 - Good inflammation control (full-mouth bleeding on probing less than 25%) - Good plaque control (full-month plaque score less than 25%) - Probing depth less than 4 mm at an interesting site - No history of periodontal surgery at the recipient site Part II - Age more than 18 years old who needs a periodontal soft tissue graft treatment - No contra-indicatory to the surgery.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Part I - Patients who have medical contraindications to periodontal surgery - Taking antibiotics or drugs affecting periodontal healing within 6 months. - Excessive tooth mobility on the surgical site - Recession defect with restoration/demineralization/caries/deep abrasion or abfraction >1mm or evidence of pulpal pathology Part II - Patients who have medical contraindications to periodontal surgery - Patients who have a disease or syndrome and receive medications that affect the quantity of saliva, inflammation phase, and healing process. These include the patients who are diagnosed with xerostomia or Sjogren's syndrome; patients who take chemotherapy drugs, antiresorptive drugs, antiangiogenics drugs, steroid drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs (depending on the type of drugs, e.g., ibuprofen is eliminated in 24 hours, thus patients who take ibuprofen >24 hours before the surgery can be included), antibiotic drugs in past 6 months, immunosuppressive drugs, amphetamine/methamphetamine drugs; and patients who currently use marijuana or a current smoker. - The biopsy site has inflamed gingival tissue (redness, swelling, or bleeding), involves an important organ at the palate, or presents any pathologic oral lesions. - The patients undergo a soft tissue graft harvesting but the harvesting site is insufficient for another 4-mm diameter 2-mm thick biopsy sample, e.g., the area is closed to some vital structures, thin palatal tissue < 2 mm.
