Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recession ReductionAt 12 months

Difference between gingival recession at 12 months and baseline, measured with a periodontal probe.

Complete Root Coverage (CRC)At 12 months

Absence or presence of gingival recession at 12 months follow-up.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Keratinized Tissue (KT)Baseline - 6 and 12 months

Width of the keratinized gingiva measured in mm from the gingival margin to the muco-gingival-junction using a periodontal probe

SensVASBaseline - 6 and 12 months

Toot sensitivity reported by the patient on a 0 to 10 Visual Analogue Scale. Higher values represent worse outcome.

Gingival Recesión (REC)Baseline - 6 and 12 months

The distance between the reconstructed cementum enamel junction and the gingival margin measured in mm with a periodontal probe

Anti-infammTab1 week post-surgery

Number of tablets of anti-inflammatory drug taken in the first week post-operatively by the patients.

AesthVASAt 12 months

Aesthetic overall satisfaction reported by the patients on a 0 to 10 Visual Analogue Scale. Higher values represent better outcomes.

Gingival Thickness (GT)Baseline - 12 months

Gingival thickness in mm, measured with an endodontic file and a digital caliper.

KTgainAt 12 months

Gain of Keratinized Tissue measured as the difference between KT at 12 months and KT baseline

Root sensitivityBaseline - 6 and 12 months

Toot sensitivity reported by the patient present or absent

Root coverage Esthetic Score (RES)At 12 months

Overall esthetic score from 0 to 10 evaluated by the blinded examiner. Higher values represent a better outcome. (Pini-Prato et al. 2011)

SurTimeAt surgery

Surgical Time in minutes from the end of anesthesia to the sutures

DiscVAS1 week post-surgery

Post Operative Discomfort reported by the patients on a 0 to 10 Visual Analogue Scale. Higher values represent worse outcome.
