Official title
Efficacy of Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Compared to Connective Tissue Graft in Treatment of Gingival Recession
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study compares the efficacy of root coverage achieved by the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) technique and the Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) technique in the treatment of Miller class I and II gingival recession defects. All patients will receive PST in one quadrant and CTG in another quadrant. The hypothesis being tested is: Pinhole Surgical Technique outcomes are not inferior to those of the Connective Tissue Graft surgical technique.
