Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
METHOD:
In a split-mouth study, 20 patients presenting at least one pair of bilaterally symmetrical Miller's Class I and Class II buccal gingival recessions will be selected. Control site will receive coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft and test site will receive laser deepithelialization as an adjunct to coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft. Gingival recession depth (GRD), Gingival recession width (GRW), Probing depth (PD), Clinical attachment level (CAL), Keratinized tissue width (KTW), Plaque index (PI), Gingival index (GI), Gingival bleeding index (GBI) will be measured at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after treatment. The root coverage outcomes were also assessed by photogrammetric analysis.

CAF+ SCTG+ laser depithelialisation
CAF + SCTG and Diode (GaAlAs) laser with a wavelength of 820 nm and a power of 1.5 watt in a continuous mode was applied to remove the sulcular epithelium.
LASER deepithelialization
the selected participants were assigned in test and control. Under LA full thickness flap was reflected until the mucogingival junction and recipient area was prepared. The connective tissue graft harvested from palate was placed on the root surface and secured with 5-0 absorbable sutures. Diode (GaAlAs) laser with a wavelength of 820 nm and a power of 1.5 watt in a continuous mode was applied to remove the sulcular epithelium. The connective tissue graft was placed on the root surface at the level of the CEJ and then secured with 5-0 absorbable sutures in both test and control sites using sling suture..
CAF+SCTG+ sham laser depithelialisation
CAF+ SCTG+ sham LASER deepithelialisation was applied to remove the sulcular epithelium.
Sham LASER deepithelialization
the selected participants were assigned in test and control. Under LA full thickness flap was reflected until the mucogingival junction and recipient area was prepared. The connective tissue graft harvested from palate was placed on the root surface and secured with 5-0 absorbable sutures. sham LASER deepithelialisation was applied to the sulcular epithelium. The connective tissue graft was placed on the root surface at the level of the CEJ and then secured with 5-0 absorbable sutures in both test and control sites using sling suture..
