Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome of the examination should be the determination of the progression of recession depth and width of the attached gingiva in mm in the area to be examined as a function of time under SPT, adherence to individual SPT intervals, systemic factors, oral hygiene aids, and the individual risk of periodontitis (Lang and Tonetti 2003).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Secondary outcome parameters are esthetics (smile esthetic index, SEI, (Rotundo et al. 2015), hypersensitivity, carious and non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), and gingival volume change in mm3.
