Abstract Aims To assess the clinical outcome (after one year) of coronally advanced flap combined with connective tissue graft for the treatment of orthodontic-associated Miller Class III gingival recession of the lower incisors. Materials and methods This study included 15 patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment prior to development of recession. Measurements of recession depth, recession width, probing depth, and width of keratinized tissue were performed clinically immediately before surgery and after one year. In addition, digital measurements of recession depth, recession width, and root coverage esthetic score were performed on intraoral photographs. Results Significant reduction was observed for probing depth, recession depth, and recession width at one year, with significant increase in width of keratinized tissue. Mean root coverage was 83 ± 24% for recession depth, while complete root coverage was achieved in 10 out of 21 recessions (48%). The average root coverage esthetic score at 12 months was 7.1 ± 2.6. An interaction was found between initial recession depth and mean root coverage. Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, our results confirm that combination of coronally advanced flap and connective tissue graft is effective in reducing post-orthodontic Miller Class III recessions of the mandibular incisors with a concomitant increase in width of keratinized tissue. Clinical Relevance These findings suggest that combination of coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft may significantly improve post-orthodontic Miller Class III recessions of the mandibular incisors, even when the correction of the tooth malposition is unattainable.

Background: The long-term stability after soft tissue graft for covering gingival recession remains a pivotal goal for both patient and periodontist. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the four-year outcomes of the coronally advanced flap (CAF) versus the pouch/tunnel (POT) technique, both combined with connective tissue graft (CTG), for gingival recession treatment. Methods: Forty patients were initially randomly assigned to the control group (CAF + CTG; N = 20) and the test group (POT + CTG; N = 20). Clinical outcomes included mean root coverage (MRC) and complete root coverage (CRC), gingival thickness (GT), and keratinized tissue (KT) gain. Esthetic outcomes were also analyzed using the pink esthetic score (PES) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). All outcomes initially assessed at six months were extended to four years post-surgery. Results: No significant differences were observed between the two patient groups in terms of MRC and CRC. At four years, significantly greater GT and KT gain were noted in the POT + CTG group, and tissue texture enhancement was also more prominent in the test group. Conclusions: The POT + CTG technique allows for long-term clinical coverage of gingival recessions comparable to that of the CAF + CTG technique, but it potentially improves gingival thickness, keratinized tissue and esthetic results.

SummaryBackground/Aim: Gingival recession is defined as apical migration if the gingival margin associated with exposure of the cement - enamel junction. The gingival recessions are major esthetic concern in patients at any age. In cases with esthetic and functional considerations mucogingival surgery is indicated. The advantages of CAF with or without CTG are making this procedure highly recommended in the esthetic zone. The results are predictable about root coverage, widening if the gingival tissues and esthetics. The aim of the recent case report is to demonstrate the succesfull combination of coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft in the treatment of wide and deep gingival recessions.Case Report: Female patient seeking consultation with great concern” not to lose the lower canines”. She noticed elongation of the teeth in the recent years complained with tenderness while brushing them. The initial examination showed presence of multiple gingival recessions in the upper and the lower jaw. Full periodontal status was taken and following diagnosis was established – dental plaque induced gingivitis, class II gingival recession in teeth #33 and #43 (Miller`s classification), RT1 by Cairo. After cause-related therapy two surgical procedures were performed in separate sessions. Both gingival recessions were surgically treated by means of CAF with CTG.Conclusions: Despite the limitating factors such as lack of keratinized tissue in the patient’s mandible that rather difficult the performance of the technique of choise, the coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft is predictable technique for full root coverage.

This paper aims to evaluate the effects of smoking on periodontal microsurgery technique using the subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) for treatment of gingival recession on smokers. 14 patients nonsmokers and 12 smokers were selected, presenting Miller’s Class I and II gingival recession ≥ 2.0 mm. For both groups, the subepithelial connective tissue graft was used with the aid of a surgical microscope. The clinical parameters of width and height of the gingival recession, height and thickness of keratinized tissue, probing depth and clinical attachment level were evaluated before and six months after surgery. At the end of the study, there were obtained an average percentage of 96.66% of root coverage on nonsmokers and 82.49% on smokers (p=0.03). Complete root coverage was observed in 78,57% and 50% of patients, respectively. Therapy can benefit both groups, but smokers have less favorable outcomes to root coverage with periodontal microsurgery using the SCTG.

Background and aims. This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of vestibular incisional subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) with subepithelial connective tissue graft versus a coronally advanced flap (CAF) with subepithelial connective tissue graft for the treatment of gingival recession defects. Materials and methods. This randomized clinical trial was performed on 24 recession defects that were bilaterally Miller’s class I or II in the maxillary canine and premolar area. One quadrant in each patient was selected randomly to receive VISTA (test group) or CAF (control group) with connective tissue graft. Clinical parameters measured at baseline and at 3- and 6- month postoperative intervals included recession width (RW), recession depth (RD), keratinized tissue width (KTW), clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing depth (PD). Results. Healing was uneventful in both the test and control groups. At the 6-month follow-up, there was a significant decrease in RD, RW and CAL and an increase in KTW in both the test and control groups. The PD remained unchanged. At 3 and 6 months, no statistically significant differences were found between VISTA and CAF for root coverage and clinical attachment gain. Mean root coverage (MRC) was 70.69% and 67.22% in the test and control group, respectively. VISTA demonstrated higher frequency of complete root coverage (CRC) compared to CAF: 50% vs. 33% (P<0.05). The mean KTW was 2.4±0.7 mm at the test and 2.7±0.8 mm at the control sites (P>0.05) Conclusion. VISTA, as a minimally invasive approach, can enhance root coverage, KTW and clinical attachment gain; therefore, it can be used as a substitute for CAF with connective tissue graft as a gold standard for root coverage.

Introduction Root coverage supported with complete regeneration of lost periodontal tissues represents the ultimate goal of gingival recession treatment. Objective This study was designed to evaluate clinical effectiveness of platelet rich plasma gel (PRP) with connective tissue graft (CTG) in the treatment of gingival recession. METHOD 15 gingival recessions Miller class I or II were treated with CTG and PRP (group PRP). Connective tissue graft was harvested from the premolar region using trap door technique. After elevation of the flap, the regional bone and root surface were smeared with activated PRP gel. CTG was also irrigated with PRP gel before placement over the exposed root surface and local bone. Fixed CTG was covered with a coronally advanced flap. The same number of gingival recessions were treated with CTG in combination with the coronally advanced flap with no PRP gel (group TVT). Clinical recordings included recession depth (RD), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and keratinized tissue width (KT) before and 1 year after mucogingival surgical treatment. Results Mean value of RD was significantly decreased from 4.93?0.86 mm to 0.60?0.37 (p<0.01) with CTG and PRP and from 4.76?0.74 mm to 0.63?0.29 mm (p<0.01) in CTG group. This difference was not statistically significant. Results of the keratinized tissue width showed significant increase from 0.88? 0.30 mm presurgery to 3.78?0.49 mm (p<0.01) six months after treatment in PRP group and from 0.90?0.34 mm to 3.15?0.41 in TVT group (p<0.01). This difference was statistically significant (p>0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed between treatment groups in CAL and PD. Conclusion Clinical results validate both procedures as effective and highly predictable surgical techniques in solving gingival recession problem. Histological evaluation may confirm advantage of PRP use related to regeneration of periodontal tissues. .

Abstract BackgroundAmong all mucogingival deformities, gingival recession is one of the most prevalent conditions that demand surgical correction. Accordingly, root coverage procedures are essential parts of plastic periodontal surgeries. It is undeniable that autogenous tissue grafts remain the gold standard for root coverage procedures. Substantial evidences have identified that the connective tissue graft (CTG) combined with coronally advanced flap (CAF) achieves favorable root coverage of recession. Nevertheless, there are some noticeable disadvantages of harvesting autogenous tissue, such as postoperative bleeding, pain, or discomfort at the donor site, restricted tissue supply, increased morbidity, and longer operative duration. In order to overcome the drawbacks of autogenous tissue harvesting, several non-vital substitutes have been produced as alternative options for replacing connective tissue graft. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is an allograft derived from human skin, which has been used extensively in various areas of dental practice over the last two decades. ADM exhibits undamaged collagen and elastin matrices that has been used as a substitute for connective tissue for root coverage procedures. Although its clinical efficacy has been discussed in several reviews, conclusions about the application of this material are still unclear and controversial. Moreover, the level of evidence on the clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes relevant to ADM graft (ADMG) is low. Therefore, the objective of this split-mouth; randomized, controlled, clinical study is to compare the long-term clinical efficacy of ADMG combination with CAF on root coverage, aesthetics and patient satisfaction with CTG combination with CAF for gingival recession with thin periodontal phenotype, hoping to provide some reference to dentists.Methods/designForty participants with bilateral Miller Class I/II gingival recession randomly received ADMG (test group) on one side and CTG (control group) on the contralateral side in conjunction with CAF. Gingival recession depth (GRD), gingival recession width (GRW), keratinized tissue width (KTW) are measured at baseline, 2, 4, 12, 24, 48 and 96 weeks. Mean root coverage (MRC), complete root coverage (CRC), root coverage aesthetic score (RES), color change (∆E), and patient satisfaction are assessed in postoperative follow-up.DiscussionCAF combined with CTG has been shown as a predictable technique in root coverage. At present, there is limited long-term data evaluating ADM on root coverage, aesthetics and patient satisfaction for the treatment of gingival recession with thin periodontal phenotype. The result of this split-mouth randomized controlled clinical studies is performed to evaluate the long-time efficacy of ADM, particularly when compared to the “gold standard” (CTG), contributing to an advanced treatment strategy of gingival recession with ideal clinical outcome.
