Group Intervention Description Coronally advanced flap and acellular dermal graft Modified coronally advanced flap and acellular dermal matrix graft In CAF group, after local anesthesia oblique beveled vertical incisions were made at the most mesial and distal line angles of the recessions. These two incisions were connected with an intra-sulcular and interdental sub-marginal incisions in order to create the external surgical papillae. Then the flap was elevated as a split-full-split approach. The apical portion of the flap was reflected as close to the periosteum as possible by mesio-distal and apical sharp dissection parallel to the mucosa to release residual muscle tension and extended beyond the muco-gingival junction to facilitate the passive coronal replacement of the flap over the defects. In both groups ADMG was used as a sub-epithelial graft considering the manufacturer's instructions. The graft was positioned at the level of cemento-enamel junction and extended to the surrounding bone in the apical direction with full closure of the exposed root surfaces. Modified coronally advanced flap and acellular dermal graft Modified coronally advanced flap and acellular dermal matrix graft Test group received CAF avoiding vertical releasing incisions (mCAF).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Complete root coverage 12 months Complete defect coverage was calculated as the percentage of patients with defects having complete coverage achieved as the gingival margin at cemento-enamel junction or coronal level.
Root coverage esthetic score 12 months Root coverage esthetic score (RES) was used as a scoring system to assess the esthetic outcomes following root coverage procedures on Miller Class I \& II gingival recession defects through the evaluation of clinical cases. Gingival margin level, marginal tissue contour, soft tissue texture, mucogingival junction alignment and gingival color were evaluated without magnification. Zero, 3 and 6 points were used for the evaluation of the position of the gingival margin, whereas a score 0 or 1 point was used for each of the other variables.
Patient satisfaction score 12 months Each patient was questioned about his/her satisfaction with regard to the following patient-centered criteria:
Root coverage attained, relief from dentinal hypersensitivity, color of gums, shape and contour of gums, surgical procedure in terms of pain during surgery and the discomfort experienced related to the duration of the procedure and handling by the operator, post surgical phase in terms of the pain, swelling, and postoperative complications; and cost effectiveness in terms of the time and money spent for the treatment.
Patient satisfaction was assessed using a three-point rating scale: fully satisfied (3 points); satisfied (2 points); and unsatisfied (1 point).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Plaque Index 12 months Teeth were isolated by cotton rolls and after drying by air syringe, the microbial dental plaque was evaluated by the explorer from 4 tooth surfaces (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal and mid-palatinal) and scores between 0- 3 were given for each point.
Scoring was made as follows:
0 - No microbial dental plaque in the gingival area
1. - A film of microbial dental plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth, recognized only by running a probe across the tooth surfaces.
2. - Moderate accumulation of soft deposits within the gingival pocket and on the gingival margin and/or adjacent tooth surfaces that can be seen by the naked eye.
3. - Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the gingival margin and adjacent tooth surface.Gingival Index 12 months The periodontal probe was used to assess the bleeding potential of the tissues from 4 tooth surfaces (mesio-buccal papilla, mid-buccal margin, disto- buccal papilla and mid-palatinal margin) and scores between 0 - 3 were given for each point.
Scoring was made as follows: 0 - Normal gingiva
1. - Mild inflammation, slight change in color, slight edema; no bleeding on probing (BoP)
2. - Moderate inflammation, redness, edema, and glazing; bleeding on probing
3. - Severe inflammation, marked redness and edema, ulcerations; tendency to spontaneous bleeding.Bleeding on Probing 12 months The periodontal probe was used to assess the percentage of bleeding after probing from 4 tooth surfaces (mesio-buccal papilla, mid-buccal margin, disto-buccal papilla and mid-palatinal margin) and scored as positive (+) or negative (-) bleeding for each point.
Probing Depth 12 months Probing Depth of the recession defect was measured in mm by the periodontal probe at the mid buccal surface of the related tooth as the distance between the gingival margin and the bottom of the gingival sulcus.
Clinical Attachment Level 12 months Clinical Attachment Level of the recession defect was measured in mm by the periodontal probe at the mid-buccal surface of the related tooth and it was defined as the distance between the cemento-enamel junction and the bottom of the gingival sulcus
Recession Depth 12 months Recession Depth was measured in mm by the periodontal probe at the mid-buccal surface of the related tooth as the distance between the cemento-enamel junction and the most apical point of the gingival margin
Recession Width 12 months Recession Width of the defect was measured in mm by the periodontal probe as the horizontal distance from one border of the recession to another in mesio-distal direction at the level of the cemento-enamel junction
Gingival Thickness 12 months Gingival Thickness was measured in mm at the mid-point location between the gingival margin and mucogingival junction, using an #25 endodontic spreader. Under the local anesthesia, the spreader was pierced perpendicularly to the mucosal surface, through the soft tissue with light pressure until hard surface was felt. The silicone disk stop was placed in tight contact with the external soft tissue surface. After carefully removing the spreader, penetration depth was measured with a digital caliper5 with 0.05 resolution.
Keratinized Tissue Width 12 months Keratinized Tissue Width of the recession defect was measured in mm by the periodontal probe at the same point as the probing depth, clinical attachment level and recession depth.
