The Comparison of the Efficacy of Gingival Unit Graft With Connective Tissue Graft in Root Coverage

The Comparison of the Efficacy of Gingival Unit Graft With Connective Tissue Graft in Root Coverage: A Randomized Split-Mouth Clinical Trial

The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of gingival unit graft (GUG) and connective tissues graft (CTG) in Miller's class I and II gingival recession.

Patients who accept the study have provided information about the study and required a written informed consent form. The clinical effectiveness of two different periodontal surgical techniques (gingival unit graft and connective tissue graft) in gingival recessions will be evaluated. Periodontal measurements (gingival recession, keratinized gingiva height) and patient-reported outcomes (intra and post-operative pain, patient satisfaction and hypersensitivity) are defined.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Systemic healthy individuals
• Presence Miller's class I and II gingival recession in the anterior and premolar teeth

Exclusion Criteria:

• Age <18 years
• Pregnancy
• Lactation
• Any cardiovascular, renal or hepatic conditions
• History of periodontal surgery
• Tooth mobility
• Presence of probing depth >3 mm and caries or restorations in the teeth undergoing treatment
