Summary

This is an assessor-blinded split-mouth randomized clinical study to compare root coverage and gingival tissue thickness following two different surgical procedures for non-autologous grafting: the pinhole surgical technique (PST) and tunnel technique.

Conditions

  • Gingival Recession

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pinhole surgical technique and tunnel technique in a split mouth design

Each subject will have the each surgical procedure which are both considered routine minimally invasive clinical care for gingival recession. Gum recession on one side will receive Pinhole surgical technique (test procedure). The other side will receive Tunnel technique (control procedure), Research component involved is the capture of digital impression using intra-oral scanner in the baseline (preoperative) and the final visit (6 months postoperative).
