Active Comparator
CAF+SCTG+PRF
CAF+SCTG
The patients suffering from class I or II gingival recession in the intervention group will receive a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) covered by platelet rich fibrin membrane (PRF) followed by a coronally advanced flap (CAF)
Control group patients with class I or II gingival recession will receive treatment that consists of CAF+SCTG only
