Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the microsurgical approach in treating gingival recession with collagen matrix by comparing it with Conventional surgery in terms of clinical and patient-centered outcomes.
A total of 29 patients with bilateral gingival recession in the maxillary canine and/or premolar region were selected. After randomisation, bilateral recession sites were grouped into the test group (Microsurgery under 3.5 X magnification) and the control group (Conventional surgery). All the clinical and patient-reported parameters were recorded at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months.
Both groups showed statistically significant differences in terms of reduction in gingival recession height (GRH), gingival recession width (GRW), clinical attachment level gain (CAL gain), increase in keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) and keratinized tissue width (KTW) after 6 months. But intergroup comparison showed no significant difference in terms of clinical parameters. The only significant difference was noted in terms of patient-centred parameters (Patient satisfactory score, Hypersensitivity score, Root aesthetic scores), which favoured the microsurgical group.
Both groups demonstrated comparable clinical improvement; However, Patient-centred parameters were significantly better with the Microsurgical approach. Selection of the surgical approach should balance patient needs with practical considerations like cost, time, and clinician proficiency.
