Summary

Microsurgical coronally advanced tunnel procedures using subepithelial connective tissue grafts (sCTG) are predictable for healing of multiple adjacent type 1 and 2 gingival recessions (RT1 and RT2). In order to reduce patient morbidity and enhance periodontal wound healing with sCTG can be used. The aim of this study is to compare the results of the modified tunneling technique with subepithelial connective tissue graft in gingival recessions placed with the inner side towards the flap cover graft and the outer side towards the flap cover graft.

Conditions

  • Gingival Recession

Interventions

PROCEDURE

The tunnel technique for root coverage with CTG with inner side of the graft

Tunnel technique for root coverage with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG). A split-thickness mucogingival tunnel will be prepared without vertical releasing incisions. The CTG will be inserted into the tunnel and positioned so that the inner (deep) side of the graft faces the inner surface of the flap (standardized graft orientation). The graft will be stabilized with sutures, and the flap will be coronally advanced to completely cover the graft.
