Microsurgical vs Macro Surgical Approach for Grade II Gingival Recessions Employing Laterally Repositioned Flap

This study was conducted to assess the evaluation of micro and Macro surgical approach in the treatment of grade II gingival recessions using the laterally repositioned flap

In this study total, 30 patients were selected The patients initially received a comprehensive periodontal examination and complete plaque control program including oral hygiene to eliminate habits related to the aetiology of recession. Scaling, root planning and occlusal adjustments were done The patients were randomly assigned and divided into two groups. Group A and Group B. Patients with miller class II were treated with a laterally repositioned flap to obtain root coverage using conventional macrosurgical approach (15patients) and microsurgical approach(15patients) The clinical parameters evaluated were height of gingival recession relative clinical attachment level which was measured as the distance from a fixed point in a stent to the bottom of the pocket and gingival biotype at baseline, 3 months and 6 months period
