About

The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of gingival unit graft (GUG) and connective tissues graft (CTG) in Miller's class I and II gingival recession.

Full description

Patients who accept the study have provided information about the study and required a written informed consent form. The clinical effectiveness of two different periodontal surgical techniques (gingival unit graft and connective tissue graft) in gingival recessions will be evaluated. Periodontal measurements (gingival recession, keratinized gingiva height) and patient-reported outcomes (intra and post-operative pain, patient satisfaction and hypersensitivity) are defined.
