Baseline and 12-month measurements of GR, keratinized tissue width (KTW), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and gingival thickness (GT) were recorded. CRC percentage, root coverage percentage (RC%), Root Coverage Esthetic Score (RES), patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and palatal wound healing were evaluated.<h4>Results</h4>At the 12-month evaluation, 19 patienClinical oral investigations444https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12423173biostudies-literatureClinical comparison of two surgical techniques in obtaining complete root coverage of single RT1 gingival recessions.PMC12423173Serroni MRomano LSantamaria PMurmura GFrisone ADe Ninis PDi Gregorio SPaolantonio MBalice GSinjari BFemminella BfalseClinical comparison of two surgical techniques in obtaining complete root coverage of single RT1 gingival recessions.<h4>Objectives</h4>This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the full-thickness palatal graft technique (FTPGT) and the coronally advanced flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft (CAF + SCTG) in achieving complete root coverage (CRC) in single gingival recessions (GR).<h4>Methods</h4>Forty healthy patients with a single RT1 GR were randomized into two groups: 20 treated with CAF + SCTG and 20 with FTPGT.
