Brief Summary

**CLINICAL OUTCOMES FOLLOWING GINGIVAL UNIT GRAFT AND FREE GINGIVAL GRAFT IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MILLER’S CLASS I AND II GINGIVAL RECESSION**

**-A HOSPITAL BASED COMPARATIVE PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY**

I am conducting a hospital based prospective cohort study comparing the outcomes following gingival unit graft and free gingival graft in the Department of Periodontics, Govt. Dental College, Kozhikode. The study duration is 21months from the date of ethical clearance. Patients coming to the outpatient department of Periodontics, Govt. Dental College, Kozhikode, Kerala for surgical treatment of Miller’s class I and II gingival recession are recruited. A total of 36 samples, 18 in each group will be selected from the Department of Periodontics, Govt. Dental College, Kozhikode. Primary outcomes variables are Vertical Recession Depth (VRD), Mean root coverage (MRC), Keratinized Tissue Width (KTW), Keratinized Tissue Thickness (KTT) at Baseline (T0), 1 week (T1), 1 month (T2), 3 months (T3) and 6 months (T4) post-surgery.
