Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this clinical trial is to to describe and evaluate an approach, free mucogingival graft (FMG), in periodontal plastic surgery for root coverage (RC) in lower incisor gingival recessions (GR) with mucogingival conditions and deformities (MCD) that might negatively influence the outcomes of conventional RC procedures.

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Healthy patients with deep GR associated with lower incisor MCD.
• Full mouth plaque and bleeding scores were <20%.

• Medications or systemic contraindications for oral surgery.
• Pregnancy.

Defects:

• Thin scalloped biotype (AND/OR)
• Underlying bone dehiscence (AND /OR)
• Generalized GR affecting most sextants.
