Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical and aesthetic results of different techniques in the treatment of gingival recession. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does the surgical technique preferred by the physician affect the closure rate of gingival recession in the 3rd month?
• Does the surgical technique preferred by the physician affect the closure rate of gingival recession in the 6th month? Participants were informed about the study. Following routine periodontal treatment, surgical operations were performed on the areas with receding gums using different techniques for the patients included in the study.

Conditions

Gingival Recession

Keywords

connective tissue graft; modified coronally advanced flap; tunel technique

Outcome Measures

Study Arms (2)

Modified coronally advanced flap technique

Patients using a modified coronally placed flap technique to cover gingival recession

Procedure: Modified coronally advanced flap technique

Tunnel technique

Patients using the tunnel technique to cover gingival recession

Procedure: Tunnel technique

Interventions

Modified coronally advanced flap technique PROCEDURE

Subepithelial connective tissue graft was applied to the relevant areas with a modified coronally placed flap technique to cover the gingival recession.
