Background: This randomized controlled clinical study of split-mouth aimed to compare non-pedicled buccal fat pad graft (BFPG) with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in the treatment of Miller Class I or II gingival recessions. Methods: Twelve patients with Miller Class I or II (≥ 2 mm) bilateral recessions in maxillary premolars or canines were selected. The recessions were randomly assigned to receive SCTG (Control Group) or BFPG (Test Group). The clinical parameters of Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), Probing Depth (PD), Gingival Recession (GR), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Width of Keratinized Tissue (WKT), Thickness of Keratinized Tissue (TKT) and Gingival Margin to the Acrylic Guide (GM-AG) were evaluated at baseline, and in the postoperative periods of 1, 3, and 6 months. The percentage of root coverage was also evaluated. Data were submitted to repeated measures ANOVA, Bonferroni method and t-test (p\<0.05).
