Summary

Objectives: To clinically evaluate the healing of Miller Class I and II isolated gingival recessions treated with the modified tunnel approach (mTA) versus the conventional tunnel technique (cTT) in conjunction with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG).

Material and Methods: In this split-mouth study, thirty healthy patients exhibiting two isolating anterior Miller Class I and II gingival recessions were treated with mTA + SCTG and cTT + SCTG. Treatment outcomes were assessed at baseline, 3-months and 6-months postoperatively. The primary outcome was root coverage esthetic scores (RES).

Conditions

  • Gingival Recession

Interventions

PROCEDURE

mTA + SCTG

These recession defects will be covered by modified tunnel approach; using a full thickness flap till the level of mucogingival junction then, partial thickness flap will be applied in the vestibular mucosa. SCTG will be harvested from the palate, put on the root surface then covered by the mTA and sutured.
