Treatment for multiple gum recession using a modified surgical technique
Evaluation of the Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recession Using Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel With Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft Depending on the Positioning of the Graft
This study is testing a new way to treat gum recession by comparing two different methods of placing grafts to see which one helps heal better and causes less discomfort for patients.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a modified coronally advanced tunnel technique combined with subepithelial connective tissue grafts for treating multiple gingival recessions. It compares two methods of graft placement: one with the inner side of the graft facing the flap and the other with the outer side facing the flap. The goal is to enhance healing and reduce patient discomfort associated with traditional grafting techniques. Participants will undergo microsurgical procedures to assess the outcomes of each approach.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with bilateral multiple gingival recessions in homologous teeth.
Not a fit: Patients with high plaque or bleeding indices, systemic diseases affecting healing, or those who smoke may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve healing outcomes and reduce discomfort for patients with multiple gingival recessions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar surgical techniques, indicating potential for success in this approach.
