Study of the Effectiveness of Modified Free Gingival Graft Technique for Treating Localized Gum Recessions in Adults Aged 18 to 64

What this Trial Is About

Gingival recessions, which involve the exposure of the root surface due to the downward movement of the gum margin, affect both younger and older adults. This condition can result from anatomical, pathological factors, or trauma, leading to a loss of attachment. Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of a modified free gingival graft technique to improve treatment outcomes for this condition. The study compares two treatments the modified free gingival graft technique and the conventional free gingival graft method. These surgical procedures aim to increase the height of the keratinized tissue and thicken the gum tissue to support better oral hygiene. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these treatment groups and receive mucogingival surgery. Participants will be monitored from enrollment through 12 months, with evaluations at 7 and 14 days, one month, and then every three months. Researchers will assess the long-term success of the modified graft technique by measuring root coverage over time. The study includes plaque control assessments and involves regular follow-up visits to track healing and treatment effectiveness.
