Gingival Recession
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Gingival Recession
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Presence of at least one RT2 (Cairo et al. 2011) buccal gingival recession > 2 mm of depth
- Only gingival recessions localized at upper central and lateral incisors, canine, and first and second pre-molars associated with aesthetic problems and/ordental hypersensitivity were considered.
- Presence of an identifiable CEJ
Exclusion Criteria:
- Systemic diseases or pregnancy.
- Systemic antibiotic therapy in the last 6 months.
- Active periodontal disease with sites showing probing depth >4 mm.

After local anaesthesia, a split-full-split thickness flap was elevated. The papillae adjacent to the involved tooth were then de-epithelialized. A gentle root debridement was performed. A 1-2-mm-thick CTG was harvested using a single incision approach from the palate in the area between the second pre-molar and the second molar. The wound on the donor site of the palate was then sutured. The graft was positioned on the instrumented root surface immediately apical or at the level of the CEJ and then stabilized using a compressive crossing suture, anchored to the periosteum apical to the graft and closed with a palatal knot. The flap was coronally displaced 1-2 mm above the CEJ and sutured
