Abstract
Both techniques were effective in treating multiple mandibular gingival recessions, resulting in a significant reduction in recession depth after 12 months. Free gingival graft showed a more predictable approach for keratinized tissue gain. In contrast, the tunnel technique was superior in healing outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Periodontal Research is an international research periodical the purpose of which is to publish original clinical and basic investigations and review articles concerned with every aspect of periodontology and related sciences. Brief communications (1-3 journal pages) are also accepted and a special effort is made to ensure their rapid publication. Reports of scientific meetings in periodontology and related fields are also published.
One volume of six issues is published annually.
