Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change from Baseline Gingival Recession Depth at 6 month

    The gingival recession depth consists of the distance from the cement-enamel junction to the most apical extension of the gingival margin. The measurement is recorded in millimeters. Change= (6 month score-baseline score)

    Baseline and month 6.

  • Change from Baseline Keratinized Gingiva Height at 6 month

    Keratinized gingiva height, measured as the distance from the gingival margin to the mucogingival line. The measurement is recorded in millimeters. Change= (6 month score-baseline score)

    Baseline and month 6.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Change from Baseline Root Hypersensitivity at 6 month

    Baseline and month 6.

  • Change from Baseline Patient Satisfaction at 6 month

    Baseline and month 6.

  • Change from Baseline Pain at 1 week

    Baseline and week 1.

  • Change from Baseline Pain at 2 week

    Baseline and week 2.

Study Arms (2)

EXPERIMENTAL

For test group, gingival recessions were treated with gingival unit graft.

Procedure: Root coverage treatment
