Summary

This study was conducted to assess the evaluation of micro and Macro surgical approach in the treatment of grade II gingival recessions using the laterally repositioned flap

Detailed description

In this study total, 30 patients were selected The patients initially received a comprehensive periodontal examination and complete plaque control program including oral hygiene to eliminate habits related to the aetiology of recession. Scaling, root planning and occlusal adjustments were done The patients were randomly assigned and divided into two groups. Group A and Group B. Patients with miller class II were treated with a laterally repositioned flap to obtain root coverage using conventional macrosurgical approach (15patients) and microsurgical approach(15patients) The clinical parameters evaluated were height of gingival recession relative clinical attachment level which was measured as the distance from a fixed point in a stent to the bottom of the pocket and gingival biotype at baseline, 3 months and 6 months period

Conditions

• Gingival Recession, Localized

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	root coverage	Group A: After administration of local anaesthesia using ophthalmic microsurgical knives a V-shaped incision was made in the gingival recession area. the gingiva was removed .the adjacent partial thickness pedicle flap was reflected from the donor area .the pedicle flap was then covered over the recipient site. then secured with 6-0 absorbable sling suture without tension. the surgical procedure was done with seilar microscope 40X magnification. Group B: After administration of local anaesthesia using 15 no blade a V-shaped incision was made in the gingival recession area . gingiva was removed .the adjacent partial thickness pedicle flap was reflected from the donor area .the pedicle flap was then covered over the recipient site. then carefully secured with 4-0 absorbable sling suture
