An interventional study of Coronally advanced flap with or without connective tissue graft in Connective Tissue Graft, Mucogingival Surgery and Gingival Recession, sponsored by Kutahya Health Sciences University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-09.
Sponsored by Kutahya Health Sciences University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between clinician-assessed esthetic outcomes, measured using the Root Coverage Esthetic Score, and patient-reported esthetic outcomes, recorded on a Visual Analog Scale, at 6 months following the treatment of Cairo Recession Type 1 and Type 2 gingival recessions with a coronally advanced flap, combined with a connective tissue graft where clinically indicated.
In this prospective clinical study, patients who apply to our clinic due to the esthetic complaint or dentin sensitivity will be included. After initial periodontal treatment, patients who meet the criteria will have a coronally positioned flap applied under local anesthesia. In areas where the keratinized tissue width is 2 mm or more and the keratinized tissue thickness is more than 1 mm, a coronally positioned flap will be applied alone. In areas where the keratinized tissue width is less than 2 mm and/or the keratinized tissue thickness is 1 mm or less, a connective tissue graft will be applied in addition to the coronally positioned flap. Clinician and patient results will be compared in the esthetic evaluations to be performed six months after the surgical procedure.
426 studies on the registry are indexed under Gingival Recession; 106 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is above the median of 30 across 390 interventional studies indexed under Gingival Recession.

Exclusion Criteria:
Coronally advanced flap procedure for Cairo type 1 or 2 gingival recession sites
Procedure: Coronally advanced flap with or without connective tissue graft
Patients will have a coronally positioned flap applied under local anesthesia. In areas where the keratinized tissue width is 2 mm or more and the keratinized tissue thickness is more than 1 mm, a coronally positioned flap will be applied alone. In areas where the keratinized tissue width is less than 2 mm and/or the keratinized tissue thickness is 1 mm or less, a connective tissue graft will be applied in addition to the coronally positioned flap.
Root Coverage Esthetic Score
The Root Coverage Esthetic Score evaluates five variables 6 months following surgery (gingival margin, marginal tissue contour, soft tissue texture, mucogingival junction alignment, and gingival color).
Time frame: Post-operative 6th month
Patient-reported esthetic outcome
Patient-reported esthetic outcome will be measured by the Visual Analog Scale (0 representing the minimum value, and 100 maximum value).
Time frame: Post-operative 6th month
Recession depth
The distance between gingival margin and cemento-enamel junction
Time frame: Pre-operative and post-operative 6th month
Keratinized tissue width
The distance between gingival margin and mucogingival junction
Time frame: Pre-operative and post-operative 6th month
Keratinized tissue thickness
The thickness measured 1.5 mm apical to the gingival margin
Time frame: Pre-operative and post-operative 6th month
Vestibular depth
The distance between the gingival margin and the greatest concavity at the mucosal fold
Time frame: Pre-operative and post-operative 6th month
Mean root coverage
(\[Pre-operative Recession Depth - Post-operative Recession Depth\] / Pre-operative Recession Depth) × 100
Time frame: Post-operative 6th month
Linear dimension change
The changes in the horizontal plane measured by superimposition of the STL files
Time frame: Post-operative 6th month

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Nov 2027, 12 months later.
Of 233 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Gingival Recession, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 30. This study's planned 12 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 235 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 30.
