    Journal: Shanghai Kou Qiang Yi Xue; 2004 Aug; 13(4):343-5. PubMed ID: 15349685.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate gingival recession of teeth with ceramic full crown treated with subepithelial connective tissue grafts. METHODS: In 20 systemically healthy, whose ages ranging from 31 to 58 years, 32 teeth with ceramic full crown developed gingival recession. Selection of gingival recession defects was based upon the following criteria: A minimum of 2 mm of root surface exposure in coronal-apical height. Miller class I and II recession. Interproximal and labial probing depth </=4 mm. No active caries or restorations on the tooth surfaces. Gingival recession were treated with subepithelial connective tissue grafts technique. RESULTS: The results indicated that subepithelial connective tissue grafts increased the height of gingival recession (GR) and gingival thickness (GT), the mean percentage of root coverage (RC) was 85.1%. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that subepithelial connective tissue grafts were able to successfully treat gingival recession defects. Moreover, the results has significant clinical benefit for aesthetics and treatment outcomes.
