• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

This randomized controlled single blinded parallel clinical trial is held to monitor if the use of the non pedicled buccal fat pad graft will result in post operative pain as a primary outcome compared to that occurs with the use of the sub epithelial connective tissue graft in treating Miller Class I and Class II gingival recession

Conditions

• Gingival Recession

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Non- Pedicled Buccal Fat Pad with Coronally Advanced flap	A horizontal incision of 1.5cm in long will be made at the bottom of the vestibule with the #15 blade in the region of maxillary first and second molars, depending on side of the recipient site. A curved hemostat will be used in the blunt dissection through the buccinators muscle to temporarily reposition and loose the surrounding fascia which will allow the buccal fat pad to be exposed in the oral cavity. A portion of adipose tissue equals to the required graft size will be excised with the microsurgical scissors. The grafting material will be placed on a saline-soaked gauze until its transfer to the recipient site. Finally, the patient's check will be compressed, in order to promote the closure of the wound edges then immediately close the donor site with simple 5.0 silk thread interrupted sutures
PROCEDURE	sub-epithelial connective tissue graft	a sub- epithelial connective tissue graft is harvested from the hard palate is used to treat area with gingival recession
