ABSTRACT


Aim: The Aim Of The Study Is To Evaluate Post-operative Morbidity And Root Coverage Outcomes In Patients Subjected To Abrasive DFGG For The Treatment Of Gingival Recession.Methodology: Ten Sites In 7 Patients Showing Miller I / II Gingival Recession Were Selected And Treated By Coronally Advanced Flap(CAF) Combined With Abrasive DFGG. All The Selected Patients Were Assessed For Postoperative Morbidity And Root Coverage Outcomes.

Results: Statistical Analysis Demonstrated That There Was A Statistically Significantdecrease In Recession Depth (RD) And Recession Width (RW) After 3 And 6 Months. An Increase In Keratinized Tissue Width (KTW) And Gingival Thickness Were Detected After 3 And 6 Months Compared To Baseline. Pain Scores Were Statistically Significantlydecrease From Day 0 To Day 7. Complete Root Coverage (CRC) Was Obtained In 10% Of The Sites.

Conclusions: CAF Combined With Abrasive DFGG Was Effective In Treating Miller Class I And II Gingival Recession Where Most Of The Assessed Clinical Parameters Demonstrated A Statistically Significantimprovement After 6 Months. The Abrasive DFGG Technique Is An Easy And Simple Technique That Requires Less Effort And Training, And Is More Flexible As A Procedure.
