Treatment options for gingival recession using different surgical techniques
Gingival Recession (RT1) Treatment With Different Gingival Augmentation Surgeries Compared With Untreated Contralateral Sites: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study
This study is testing two different surgical methods for treating gum recession in patients with thin gums to see which one works better than just regular non-surgical treatment.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of two surgical techniques, connective tissue graft and de-epithelized free gingival graft, in treating patients with gingival recession type 1. Participants with a thin gingival phenotype will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one receiving a connective tissue graft, another receiving a free gingival graft, and a control group receiving only non-surgical periodontal treatment. The study will assess changes in gingival thickness and other clinical parameters over a 12-month period. Data will be collected and analyzed to determine the efficacy of the surgical interventions compared to non-surgical treatment alone.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are medically healthy individuals with a thin gingival phenotype diagnosed with gingival recession type 1.
Not a fit: Patients with periodontal disease, smokers, or those with carious teeth will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide patients with improved treatment options for gingival recession, leading to better oral health and aesthetics.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar surgical approaches for gingival augmentation, indicating potential for success in this trial.
