Abstract

Abstract Background: The most common mucogingival defect is gingival recession (GR), which is characterized by apical displacement of the gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction and root exposure. Several techniques are available for treating GR and are collectively termed root coverage (RC) procedures. This study presents 3 months’ results of a randomized clinical trial comparing RC in areas of isolated GR by coronally advanced flap (CAF) with periosteum membrane and PerioCol® membrane. Materials and Methods: Twenty recession sites were selected for the study and further divided into two groups (Test group 1 [C AF + Periosteum membrane] and Test group 2 [CAF + Guided tissue regeneration membrane]) and completed the 3-month follow-up. Result: Satisfactory result obtained after three months in both the cases but CAF+Periosteum showed better and fast healing. Conclusion: Both treatment modalities showed a significant improvement in clinical parameters at 3 months postoperatively.
