Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present clinical study is to compare post-operative morbidity and root coverage outcomes in patients subjected to conventional de-epithelialized free gingival graft (DFGG) and abrasive DFGG for the treatment of gingival recession.Methodology: Twenty sites in 13 patients showing Miller I / II gingival recession were selected and divided into intervention group where coronally advanced flap (CAF) combined with abrasive DFGG were performed while in the control group, CAF combined with conventional DFGG were performed. All the selected patients were assessed for postoperative morbidity and root coverage outcomes.Results: No statistically significant differences were demonstrated between the two groups in patients{u2019}post-operative pain and analgesics consumption. Root coverage results did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups except for gingival phenotype and recession width after 6 months were in favor of conventional DFGG. It was found that the conventional DFGG group was 2.25 folds prone to CRC than the abrasive DFGG group
