Clinical comparison between the coronally positioned flap augmented with connective tissue and cornally positioned flap in treatment of localized gingival recession

ABSTRACT

Twenty patients [their ages ranged from 18 to 45 years] with a localized gingival recession in the anterior teeth [according to class I Miller's Classification] were participated in this study. They were divided into two groups. Group I consisted of 10 patients with localized gingival recession were treated with coronally positioned flap. Group II consisted of 10 patients with localized gingival recession, were treated with coronally positioned flap augmented with connective tissue. The results revealed that both surgical techniques were equally effective in treating of localized gingival recession. No significant difference between the two groups was found when compared six months following surgery
