Summary

This study tests if using an air-polishing device with erythritol powder to clean tooth roots before gum graft surgery works as well as the standard hand-scraping method. Twenty adults with receding gums will be treated and followed for a year. The goal is to see which approach leads to better gum coverage and simpler procedure.
