Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Expected outcome 1: It is expected to find aesthetically superior results in sites submitted to connective tissue grafts and inverted free gingival graft compared to sites submitted to conventional connective tissue grafts, and the results will be verified by three experienced periodontists, by the lay opinion of the patients (considering which condition seems more pleasing to them) and also by objective analysis through ImageJ software, comparing with the adjacent vestibular keratinized mucosa.;Outcome found 1: It was observed that the group submitted to conventional free gingival grafts presented statistically different coloration in relation to the other two intervention groups.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Expected outcome 2: It is expected to find larger dimensions in the group submitted to conventional free gingival grafts and the results will be evaluated after suturing the grafts (baseline”), which will be recorded measurements from an occlusal stent” (measurements A and B), with the aid of a periodontal probe and an endodontic stop”. ;Outcome found 2: Considering the dimensional analysis of the grafts, it was observed that the conventional and inverted connective tissue grafts contracted significantly in relation to the free gingival grafts, which did not show statistically significant contraction.
