Effectiveness of Micro Connective Tissue Graft for Treatment of Multiple Adjacent Gingival Recession Defects
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The objective of this project is to evaluate 1-year outcomes of treatment of MAGRD using a modified coronally advanced tunnel technique (MCAT) with either conventional CTG (control group) or micro-CTG (test group).
