Details and patient eligibility
About
The aim of this study is to compare the use of T-inverted shape Free Gingival Graft with Free Gingival Graft for improving the clinical attachment, gain partial root coverage, and improve Keratinized tissue width in recession type 2 /recession type 3 gingival recession defects .
Research question : In patients with RT2 / RT3 mandibular defects will the use of inverted T-shape free gingival graft differ from free gingival graft in Recession depth?
