[Assessment of root restorations effect on treatment of gingival recessions by gingival connective tissue grafts]

This study was carried out To assess Of Root Restorations Effect [GC Fuji II] On Treatment Of Gingival Recessions By Gingival Connective Tissue Grafts fifteen patients [12 females,3 males],aged 19 to 54 years [mean age 36 years] have 29 teeth with Miller class I and II gingival recessions associated with Billings degree1St ,2nd and 3rd root caries were selected. The recessions were assigned randomly to receive Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft [SCTG] or Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft and Restoration [SCTG+R]. Plaque index [PI],gingival index [GI] sulcus bleeding index [SBI], probing depth [PD], gingival recession [GR], clinical attachment loss [CAL], width of keratinized gingival [WKG], width of attached gingiva [WAG], and dental hypersensitivity index [DHI] were measured at baseline, 45 days, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Anova and t-test were used to compare group means. P values 0.05], but was not statistically significant for WKG, WAG [P>0.05]. The differences between groups were not statistically significant except DHI, wherein a greater reduction in DHI was observed in [SCTG] group. These results indicate that gingival connective tissue grafts with or without restorative treatment is effective procedure for treatment of gingival recessions associated with root caries, and GIC restorations did not achieve sufficient improvement in periodontal indexes
