Eligibility Criteria

25 Years - 55 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Systematically and periodontally healthy non-smokers
  • Presence of Cairo Recession type I gingival recession with ≥ 2 mm gingival recession depth, probing depth <3 mm and gingival thickness (GT) ≥ 0.8 mm on both sides of the maxillary arch
  • Width of keratinized gingiva ≥ 2mm
  • Presence of identifiable cemento-enamel junction
  • Full-mouth plaque index (PI) < 20 %
  • Gingival index (GI) scores =1
  • Presence of tooth vitality
  • Absence of caries, restorations and furcation involvement in the treated area

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who had systemic problems that wound contraindicate for periodontal surgery
  • Usage of medications known to interfere with healing and to cause gingival enlargement
  • Recession defects associated with demineralization, deep abrasion, previous surgery in the defects area within the past 1 year

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Complete and mean root coverage
Percentages of root coverage and complete root coverage were calculated according to the following standard formulae. Percentage of root coverage: [(preop. vertical gingival recession (VGR)- postop.VGR)\ preop. VGR] x 100 Percentage of complete root coverage: [(teeth with complete root coverage) \ (all treated teeth)] x 100.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Gingival thickness
The gingival thickness was evaluated midbuccally in the attached gingival (GT-MB), halfway between the mucogingival junction and free gingival groove and at the base of the interdental papilla. GT was measured by using a periodontal probe with a rubber stopper under local anesthesia, and then the thickness was assessed by transferring to an electronic digital caliper.
Keratinized gingiva width (WKG)
The WKG was determined by subtracting the VGR from the CEJ- MGJ (mucogingival junction).
Patient esthetic score (PES)
Patient esthetic score (PES) to evaluate esthetic appearance (color, appearance, and form of the selected site), PES: bad-unlikely esthetics (score 0) → perfect esthetics (score 10)
Patient comfort score (PCS)
Patient comfort score (PCS) for the pain, edema and other experiences regarding operating technique, instruments, and microscopic view, etc. PCS: unbearable discomfort (score 0) → no-discomfort (score 10).
Hypersensitivity score (HS)
"Hypersensitivity" score was recorded after blasting air (60 psi, 22°C) derived from a dental syringe that was heading for the root surface for 1 s. The syringe was held at 90° angle, 2-3 mm from the root surface. Neighboring teeth were shielded during testing with the dentist's gloved fingers; then the patient has enquired again to score the discomfort level. HS: no pain (score 0) → worst pain imaginable (score 10)

Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
CAF only
Intervention Description
After local anesthesia, initially, sulcular incisions were made on the buccal aspect of the teeth and two vertical incisions were made. A trapezoidal flap was elevated with a split-full-split approach in the coronal-apical direction. The anatomic inter-dental papillae adjacent to the involved tooth were de-epithelialized. Plaque, calculus, and soft tooth structures on exposed root surfaces were removed with curettes. No further mechanical or chemical root conditioning materials were performed. The flap was coronally placed over the membranes to completely cover the CEJ and sutured with 6.0 propylene suture.

Blood samples were collected into 10 ml glass-coated plastic tubes without anticoagulant solutions. These tubes were placed into CGF centrifuge machine and centrifuged immediately . CGF membrane were placed over the defect. The flap was coronally placed over the membranes to completely cover the CEJ and sutured with 6.0 propylene suture.
