Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate reduction of recession depth using lateral closed tunnel technique versus CAF technique using connective tissue graft in single RT2 gingival recession cases.

Conditions

Recession, Gingival

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: DOUBLE

Study Groups

Laterally closed tunnel technique with CTG

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Laterally Closed Tunnel with CTG

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

A novel minimally invasive surgical approach laterally closed tunnel technique (LCT) has been recently introduced for the management of isolated gingival recession. The laterally closed tunnel technique ensures predictability by tunneling and mobilization of flap for graft coverage.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

CAF with CTG

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

Gold standard surgical technique

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Single RT2 buccal gingival recession ≥ 2 mm in the esthetic zone (Gingival recession associated with loss of inter-proximal attachment. The amount of interproximal attachment loss (measured from the interproximal CEJ to the depth of the interproximal pocket) was less than or equal to the buccal attachment loss (measured from the buccal CEJ to the depth of the buccal pocket)
• Patients with good oral hygiene
• Medically free patients
• No signs of active periodontal disease (with no site showing probing depth > 4 mm and full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS) 20% (measured at four sites per tooth).
• Palate with sufficient thickness to accommodate soft tissue defect.

Exclusion Criteria

• Smokers
• Pregnancy
• Severe gag reflex
• Non-carious cervical lesion
• History of mucogingival or periodontal surgery at the experimental site
• History of medication that can affect periodontal healing

• Eligible Sex: ALL
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: Yes
