Abstract

Gingival recession is a highly prevalent problem and can reach up to 100% of individuals over 50 years of age. The presence of the recession may result in the occurrence of other problems such as dentin hypersensitivity, esthetic complaints, biofilm accumulation, root caries, non-carious cervical lesions among others. In order to cope with recessions, various surgical techniques have been developed. The approach that provides the best results is the Connective Tissue Graft (CTG). However, the literature is full of papers comparing different surgical techniques and little attention has been given to improve this technique that is considered the gold standard. Studies that aim the improvement of esthetic result, once the literature indicates that the majority of patients seek treatment for gingival recession due to aesthetic complaint is highly recommended. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare clinically, esthetically and patient-centered parameters, two types of flap designs for connective tissue graft in the treatment of gingival recession. For this, a double-blind randomized clinical trial will be carried out following the Consort Statement-2010. Forty patients presenting with gingival recession will be divided in 2 groups: E+CTG: periodontal surgery for root coverage using the envelope flap and graft of connective tissue and group T+CTG: trapezoidal flap and graft of connective tissue. Clinical, esthetics, and comfort of patients parameters will be assessed at 45 days, 2, 3 and 6 months after the procedure. (AU)
