Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Keratinized tissue width (KT)12 months

Keratinized tissue width will be assessed with a periodontal probe, measured in mm on the buccal aspect, from the gingival margin to the mucogingival line.

Probing pocket depth (PD)12 months

Probing pocket depth will be assessed with a periodontal probe, measured in mm from the gingival margin to the bottom of the pocket

Location of the tip of the papillae (TP)12 months

Location of the tip of the papillae. Taking as reference the level of the mid-axis of the tooth, will be measured the distance from the CEJ at the zenith of the tooth to the tip of the papilla. A positive value will be recorded when the tip of the papillae is located coronally to the CEJ and a negative value otherwise.

This outcome will be assessed with a periodontal probe and measured in mm.

Clinical attachment level (CAL)12 months

Clinical attachment level will be assessed with a periodontal probe, measured in mm from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the bottom of the pocket.

Recession (REC)12 months

Recession, will be assessed with a periodontal probe, measured in mmm on the buccal aspect, from the CEJ to the gingival margin zenith.

Bleeding on probing12 months

Bleeding on probing could be positive or negative.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Wound closure (WC)1 week

Complete wound closure (CWC = 2) Incomplete wound closure (IWC = 1) necrosis (NT = 0).

Supra-alveolar attachment gain (SUPRA-AG)12 months

Subtracting the 12-month CAL from the intra-surgically BC-CEJ will provide the SUPRA-AG result.
