Microneedling with coronally advanced flap for thin gingival tissue in RT1 recession

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares two surgical approaches for isolated RT1 gingival recession in adults with thin gingival phenotype. One group receives microneedling sessions followed by coronally advanced flap, and the other group receives coronally advanced flap with a connective tissue graft. The trial aims to see if the non-invasive microneedling approach can achieve comparable root coverage and esthetic outcomes to the traditional grafted technique. Participants are systemically healthy and meet specific recession, gingival thickness, and hygiene criteria. Follow-up assessments will monitor root coverage, tissue thickness, and patient satisfaction over time.
