Impact of Tooth Location on the Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions with Connective Tissue Graft Associated with a Coronally Advanced Flap

Objectives: Coronally Advance Flap (CAF) effectiveness has been extensively evaluated, but little information is available regarding the effect of tooth position. This study aimed to evaluate influence location on outcomes CAF with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in treatment gingival recessions defects (GRs). Materials and Methods: Nineteen patients who a mean age 36.3 ±7.6 years (11women, 8 men), each contributing Miller Class I II GRs, were selected. Forty-four treated combination SCTG. Gingival recession depth (RD), width (RW), probing (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) recorded at baseline 12 months postoperatively Results: The root coverage from 1year post-surgery was 89 % for maxillary GRs 68 mandibular GRs. RD RW decrease both groups (p<0.001), there no statistically significant difference between dentition. Both treatments showed satisfactory esthetic results (RES teeth 8.2 ±1.3 7.6 ± 1.1). Conclusions: findings current have shown that an effective procedure multible Besides, two (maxillary GRs) similar improvements evaluations.
