Condition

Periodontitis

Treatment

The tunnel technique for root coverage with CTG with inner side of the graft

The tunnel technique for root coverage with CTG with outer side of the graft

Clinical Study ID

NCT06366022
Warsaw.06
  • Ages 18-60
  • All Genders

Study Summary

Microsurgical coronally advanced tunnel procedures using subepithelial connective tissue grafts (sCTG) are predictable for healing of multiple adjacent type 1 and 2 gingival recessions (RT1 and RT2). In order to reduce patient morbidity and enhance periodontal wound healing with sCTG can be used. The aim of this study is to compare the results of the modified tunneling technique with subepithelial connective tissue graft in gingival recessions placed with the inner side towards the flap cover graft and the outer side towards the flap cover graft.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:
