Root Coverage With Tunneling Technique With Connective Tissue Versus Coronal Advancement Flap Technique.

Ecuador20 participantsStarted 2024-01-15

Plain-language summary

This is a randomized triple-blind clinical trial. This comparative clinical study investigates the efficacy of root coverage using two periodontal techniques: the tunneling technique and the coronal advancement technique. The objective is to evaluate and compare the clinical, esthetic and patient perception outcomes after undergoing each procedure. Participants with specific gingival recessions will be included, and follow-up will be performed to measure root coverage, keratinized tissue gain and other relevant parameters. In addition, a detailed analysis of the morbidity associated with each technique will be performed. This study aims to provide valuable information to guide oral health professionals in choosing the most appropriate technique for the treatment of gingival recessions.
