A new twist on gum surgery could better cover exposed roots

This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating receding gums, a condition where the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing the roots. One technique is the standard coronally advanced flap, and the other is a newer vertical variation. Both are performed along with a connective tissue graft and a special enamel protein to encourage healing. The study will measure how much root coverage each technique achieves and how the gums look afterward, using 3D scans to track changes over six months.
