Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of subepithelial connective tissue grafting in covering an exposed root surface.Methods:Eight cases with gingival recession on upper and lower anterior teeth and premolars receited connective tissue grafting received connective tissue grafting were presented with 12 months of follow-up.Results:Initial gingival recession averaged 4.3 mm,with a mean probing pocket depth of 2.3 mm.At the 12-month follow-up,a mean of 3.0 mm of root coverage was observed(ie,71% root coverage,range 60% to 80%).Probing pocket depth averaged 1.6 mm,indicating a 3.6 mm gain of clinical attachment(range 2 to 5 mm).Conclusion:The application of connective tissue graft results in predictable root coverage and clinical attachment while maintaining shallow pockets.
