In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Multiple techniques can be used for recession coverage. The most common techniques are : tunnel technique (T), coronally advanced flap (CAF) or a combination of both (TCAF). Tunnel and coronally advanced flap are frequently used in clinical practice, whereas the combined technique is a rather recent developed surgical approach. This randomized controlled trial compares CAF and TCAF to determine which technique provides better root coverage for receding gums in the lower front teeth. The main question it aims to answer is: \- What is the average root coverage achieved with each technique in the short and long term? This may be clinically relevant because covering gum recession can reduce tooth sensitivity, improve aesthetics and make oral hygiene easier. Researchers will compare the coronally advanced flap (CAF = the gum is detached and repositioned higher) with the tunneled coronally
