Gingival Recession, Mucogingival Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Microsurgical Instruments and Magnification May Enhance Treatment Outcomes Of Laterally Moved, Coronally Advanced Flap in Miller Class III Isolated Recession Defects
The benefits of microsurgical approaches in periodontal therapy have been described. The
main focus of this study is to determine if using microsurgical LMCAF technique would
improve the outcomes of the therapy for the Miller Class III isolated recession-type
defects.
Six months results of this study showed that LMCAF with microsurgical approach offered
better complete and mean root coverage results over macrosurgical LMCAF technique. The
superior effect of microsurgical approach on post-operative morbidity can make this
technique more preferable for the patients who expected comfortable postoperative period.
This study supports that using the microsurgical aproach with LMCAF procedure significantly
affects the clinical and patient-centered success of treating Miller Class III isolated
typed defects.
