Measure
Connective Tissue Graft (CTG)
After local anesthesia, the surgical procedure performed was the trapezoidal-type of Coronally advanced flap (CAF). After the flap was raised, the exposed root surface was gently scaled and planed until it became smooth. Afterward, a thin and small connective tissue graft that was sutured over the root surface. Then, the flap was coronally positioned and sutured to completely cover the graft. Connective tissue graft (CTG): Periodontal surgical technique to treat gingival recessions sodium dipyrone: sodium dipyrone was recommended for all participants after the surgical procedures.
CTG Plus Resin Composite Restoration
After local anesthesia, a sterile rubber dam was placed to isolate the operative field and the coronal zone of the non-carious cervical lesion restoration was performed with a nanocomposite resin, following the manufacturer's instructions. The apical margin of the restoration was place 1 millimeter beyond to the cemento-enamel junction estimation. In the next session, the surgical procedure performed was the trapezoidal-type of CAF. After the trapezoidal-type of CAF flap was raised, a thin and small connective tissue graft that was sutured over the restoration surface. Then, the flap was coronally positioned and sutured to completely cover the graft.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

The MRES evaluated six variables: gingival margin (GM): 0 or 3 points; marginal tissue contour (MTC): 0 or 1 point; soft tissue texture (STT): 0 or 1 point; mucogingival junction alignment (MGJ): 0 or 1 point; gingival color (GC): 0 or 1 point; restoration/cervical lesion color (R/CLC): 0 points = color of restoration or uncovered cervical lesion does not match with tooth's color; 3 points = good color integration. Thus, 10 points was a perfect score.
