CAF With or Without CTG for the Treatment of Single Maxillary Gingival Recession With NCCL

Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) and Composite Restoration of the Enamel With or Without Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) for the Treatment of Single Maxillary Gingival Recession With Non-carious Cervical Lesion (NCCL). A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

This studies evaluate the efficacy of the coronally advanced flap (CAF) with or without connective tissue graft (CTG) for the treatment of single maxillary recession associated to non carious cervical lesion (NCCL).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age ≥18 years
• No systemic diseases or pregnancy.
• Self-reported smoking ≤ 10 cigarettes/day.
• Full-mouth plaque score (FMPS) and full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS) ≤ 10% (measured at four sites per tooth).
• Presence of single RT1 buccal gingival recessions ≥ 2 mm of depth located in the anterior area of the upper jaw (central and lateral incisors, canine, first and second pre-molars, first molar) and associated with aesthetic complains and or dental sensitivity.
• Presence of NCCL associated with recession
• No history of mucogingival or periodontal surgery at experimental sites.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prosthetic crown at experimental teeth.
• Gingival recessions presenting minimal amount (< 1mm) of apico-coronal keratinized tissue (KT) extension apical to recession area.
