Thin gingival phenotype is one of the major causative factors of gingival recession type 1 which can result in hypersensitivity, discomfort, and compromised esthetics. This study assess the efficacy of increasing the gingival thickness from thin gingival phenotype to thick gingival phenotype in the treatment of patients suffering from gingival recession (RT1) and maintenance of results using either connective tissue graft or de-epithelized free gingival graft after non-surgical periodontal debridement compared to non-surgical periodontal debridement alone.
