Brief Summary

The purpose of this multi-center study is to compare the effectiveness of Mucograft versus connective tissue graft in combination with coronal advanced flap for the treatment of Miller class III recessions The connective tissue graft in combination with coronal advanced flap is considered the gold standard for the treatment of gingival recession in terms of percentage of root coverage and complete root coverage. However connective tissue graft harvesting from the palatal mucosa is often associated with increased patient morbidity, prolonged surgical time and is limited supply. To overcome these inconvenients many efforts are made to develop new materials (healing modifiers, barrier membranes and grafts substitutes) Recently a new two-layer , xenogenic collagen matrix (Mucograft: Geistlich Pharma , Wolhusen Switzerland) has been proposed for regenerative therapy involving teeth and implants. The use of this porcine collagen matrix has obtained promising results for treatment of Miller class I and II recession defects (isolated and multiple recession defects) The mayority of root coverage studies in the literature treats Miller class I and II recession defects .Surgical treatment of class III recesión defects is more challenging due to loss of interproximal bone and soft tissues and complete root coverage may not be expected . But some recent studies demonstrate complete root coverage and high percentage of root coverage in class III recessions. Also a new classification system using the level of interproximal attachment level has been proposed to predict the final root coverage outcome. So ,the soft tissue substitutes should be used also in Miller class III recession, and because of that fact, the investigators are conducting this study, to evaluate the effectiveness of Mucograft in Miller class III recessions compared with connective tissue graft.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of root coverage

    In each patient the mean of their gingival recessions at baseline (initial RECm)and at 6 (RECm 6months)and 12 months (RECm 12 months) will be calculated measuring at the mid buccal point of the involved teeth by the same blinded investigator using the same periodontal probe (PCP SE-11 Hu Friedly, Chicago, IL USA). With this measurements the percentage of root coverage will be calculated

    Change from baseline at following surgery sixth and twelfth month respectively

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Percentage of recessions with Complete root coverage

    Change from baseline at following surgery sixth and twelfth month respectively

  • Patient centred outcomes

    after surgery up to 7 days and 1 year

  • Gingival Thickness

    Change from baseline at following surgery and twelfth month respectively

  • Keratinized Tissue width

    Change from baseline at following surgery sixth and twelfth month respectively
