Brief Summary
Free gingival graft is a mucogingival surgical technique applied to increase keratinized gingival width and reduce gingival recession. Free gingival graft is one of the most widely used approaches in root closure treatments and in increasing the height of the keratinized gingiva. Evaluation of the effect of the amount of creeping attachment on the root surface caused by the free gingival grafts placed coronally and apical to the mucogingival line on the gingival recession in the mandibular anterior region with keratinized gingival deficiency with gingival recession. Forty patients with gingival recession and insufficient keratinized gingival height will be randomly divided into 2 main groups as free gingival grafts to be placed coronal and apical to the gingival recession.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. 18-99 years old 2. The patient does not have any systemic disease 3. Presence of at least one tooth with gingival recession in the mandibular anterior region 4. Excessive dentin sensitivity and impaired esthetics associated with recession 5. Identification of the enamel-cementum boundary in the shrinkage region 6. The tooth is alive and there are no irregularities, grooves, caries and restorations in the area to be treated. 7. No periodontal surgical treatment in the relevant areas in the last 24 months 8. Presence of adequate keratinized and attached gingiva in the donor area Exclusion Criteria: 1. Being outside the specified age range 2. Any contraindication for systematic periodontal surgery 3.
