RESUMEN
The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of denuded root coverage using subepithelial connective tissue graft.12 patients [8 female and 4 male] between 22 and 43 years old with at least one tooth with gingival recession were selected. The following parameters were measured for each tooth: 1 .Gingival level to CEJ height. 2-Gingival level to the reference point height 3. Recession width in CEJ. 4. pocket depth 5.The amount ofkeratinized gingiva. Gingival graft surgery was done with the Langer and Langer technique. The parameters were measured at baseline and one, two and three months after surgery. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA and correlation coefficient. The results revealed that our procedure was successful in 75% of cases in root coverage of greater than. 1.7 mm and in about 92% of cases in increasing the width ofkeratinized gingiva more than 2 mm. Subepthelial connective tissue graft procedure could be used successfully in treating denuded roots
