Effect of Connective Tissue Graft Position

Cukurova University38 enrolled

Overview

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the root coverage and aesthetic results of CAF+ CTG positioned apical to the CEJ (CAF+CTG-ACEJ) with CAF+CTG positioned on the CEJ (CAF+CTG-CEJ) for treating isolated gingival recession defects. Methods: Thirthy-eight patients with Miller class I and II gingival recessions were enrolled. 19 patients were randomly assigned to the CAF+CTG-ACEJ group or CAF+CTG-CEJ group. Clinical and aesthetical evaluations were made at 6 months.
