In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this study is to evaluate how effective a gum grafting procedure is in treating gum recession that affects several teeth. Gum recession happens when the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing the roots. The study will look at how the treatment improves gum health, appearance, and function. A total of 32 patients will take part in the study. All patients will be treated with a modified coronally advanced tunnel. For half of them of contiguous graft will be used, for the other half a segmented graft. Data collected will include medical history, dental and aesthetic information, clinical measurements, and a digital scan of the mouth. The study will include the following steps: Before the procedure: You will have a clinical and X-ray examination to determine how much your gums have receded. A digital impression of your teeth will also be taken. Surgical procedure: Yo
