A comparative assessment of root coverage of gingival recession using modified coronally advanced flap using microsurgical and macro surgical techniques

Background: Gingival anatomic factors, chronic trauma, periodontitis, and tooth alignment are the main conditions leading to gingival recession. The present study was conducted compare root coverage of localized GR using modified coronally advanced flap (CAF) conditioning with 24% EDTA when performed under magnification without magnification. Materials Methods: This on 30 patients Miller’s Class I II GR. Patients were divided into 2 groups i.e 15 in each group. Group (Coronally microsurgery) was test group macrosurgical approach) control. Plaque index (PI), index (GI), pocket probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) width of keratinized gingival, recession recorded both at baseline 1and 3 months for control Visual analog scale (VAS) used record pain postoperatively on 3rd 7th day of surgery. CAF were done EDTA. Surgical procedure at site carried 3.5 magnification. Results: mean 0.45 0.66, PI 0.86 ingroup II, 3.02 3.34 PD 0.76 in 0.74 keratinized tissue 4.20 3.26 recession depth 2.54 2.68 3.60 3.68 II. There alteration GI, PI, CAL, PD, tissue, recession width between 1 month. Significant reduction found of keratinized (P Conclusion: Authors that microsurgery had less postoperative
