Multiple gingival recessions in the anterior region of the mandible treated with the tunnel technique.
Isolate gingival recessions in the anterior region of the mandible treated with the laterally closed tunnel technique.
Multiple gingival recessions in the anterior region of the mandible will be treated using the free gingival graft technique.
Isolate gingival recessions in the anterior region of the mandible will be treated using the free gingival graft technique.
The donor area on the palate will be treated using hyaluronic acid gel and green tea applied by the participant 3 times a day for 7 days.
