Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The technique under investigation aims to provide effective root coverage while offering the advantage of being less invasive.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Limited RCTs have been found in the literature comparing the root coverage capacity of the tunneled coronally advanced flap versus modified coronally advanced tunnel combined with connective tissue graft in single RT2 defects. So, this trial aims to fill this gap of knowledge.
