Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Digital mean root coverage

Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months and up to 10 years after surgery

Defined as the percentage of root coverage in the mid-buccal aspect, taking baseline as a reference. Measured by dividing the mean surface (in mm²) of the root covered by the procedure by the mean surface (in mm²) of root exposed at baseline.
