Effect of Modified Free Gingival Graft and Conventional Free Gingival Graft on Gingival Recession
Sponsor: AYSE HUMEYRA ORUC
Summary
The aim of this clinical study is to understand whether the modified free gingival graft technique is superior to the conventional free gingival graft: Will gingival recession completely close in modified free gingival grafting areas? Will there be a significant increase in the amount of keratinized gingiva in modified free gingival grafting participants compared to traditional free gingival grafting participants? Participants will visit our clinic in the 1st, 3rd and 6th months. Necessary clinical parameter measurements will be made by the clinician.

Interventions
Mod-fgg
Following an intrasulcular incision, 2 mm long horizontal incisions will be made on each side at the level of the gum line. From these incisions, divergent vertical release incisions will be made extending towards the alveolar mucosa. To prepare the recipient area, a thin partial thickness flap will be lifted and then removed. A foil template will be obtained by measuring the dimensions of the resulting area. A horizontal incision will be made apical to the exposed root area of the target teeth at a distance corresponding to the height of the exposed root surface. Starting from the endpoints of this incision, two more slightly divergent incisions will be made in the coronal direction. Thus, a connective tissue pedicle flap will be formed and carefully separated from the periosteum. The pedicle graft will be turned over the exposed root surface and fixed with bioabsorbable sutures. The palatal graft will be sutured to cover the connective tissue.

The surgical procedures to be performed in this group will be the same as in the modified free gingival graft group, but no connective tissue pedicle flap will be performed.
