Overview
Brief Summary
This study compared the clinical outcomes of coronally advanced flap using two different surgical strategies in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions.
Detailed Description
The objective of this split-mouth, randomized controlled trial was to compare the clinical outcomes of coronally advanced flap (CAF) using two different surgical strategies in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions. Recessions were randomly treated according to a split-mouth design by means of: CAF with oblique interdental incisions (OBL technique) or CAF with horizontal interdental incisions (HOR technique). Marginal gingival recession (REC), clinical attachment level (CAL), pocket probing depth (PPD), height of keratinized tissue (HKT) and thickness of keratinized tissue (TKT) were measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months after treatment. Patient-centered outcomes concerning morbidity and improvement in the esthetic appearance were recorded using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
