About

The technique under investigation aims to provide effective root coverage while offering the advantage of being less invasive.

Full description

Limited RCTs have been found in the literature comparing the root coverage capacity of the tunneled coronally advanced flap versus modified coronally advanced tunnel combined with connective tissue graft in single RT2 defects. So, this trial aims to fill this gap of knowledge.
