Complete root coverage in the treatment of Miller class III or RT2 gingival recessions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the evidence on complete root coverage (CRC) achieved by periodontal plastic techniques in the treatment of Miller class III/RT2 gingival recessions, comparing techniques developed along the twentieth century (pre-twenty-first) versus surgical approaches of the twenty-first century (21st).
