Summary

The concept of laser deepithelialization to retard epithelial migration has enabled new attachment formation in periodontal pockets. Based on this hypothesis, that laser deepithelialization during root coverage procedures will enhance clinical outcome, a split mouth randomized controlled clinical trial was planned to compare the clinical outcome of Coronally advanced flap (CAF) + subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) alone and in combination with laser de-epithelialization in the treatment of gingival recession.

Conditions

  • Gingival Recession

Interventions

DEVICE

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..
