Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques—coronally advanced flap (CAF) and tunneled coronally advanced flap (TCAF)—for covering receding gums in the lower front teeth. Both methods use a small tissue graft from the roof of the mouth to support the gum. Researchers will track 34 adults for up to 10 years to see which technique provides better root coverage, reduces tooth sensitivity, and improves appearance.
