All patients received oral hygiene instructions to correct any traumatic tooth brushing habit that could be related to the etiology of the recession, at least 4 weeks before surgery. A pre-surgical supragingival scaling procedure with ultrasound device (Cavitron Select-Dentsply International Inc., Long Island City, NY, USA) and dental prophylaxis/polishing was performed 2 weeks before the scheduled surgical procedure.

The clinical periodontal parameters measured included the percentages of sites that bled on probing (BOP), in addition to the visible plaque index, probing depth (PD), and CAL. The PD and CAL were recorded at six sites per tooth (mesiobuccal, midbuccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, midlingual, and distolingual), except for third molars. A periodontal computerized probe (Florida Probe, Gainesville, FL, USA) was used together with a silicone stent (1.0-mm plates) (Bio Art, São Paulo, Brazil). The measurements were recorded at T0, T1, and T2. There was an intraexaminer concordance of 98% within the interval of ±0.5 mm for the PD and CAL measurements.
After baseline examinations, patients received nonsurgical periodontal treatment, which consisted of oral hygiene instructions and supra- and subgingival debridement (SRP) under local anesthesia. The treatment was performed by an experienced periodontist (G.L.M.) with manual (Gracey and McCall curettes, Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) and ultrasonic (Cavitron select, Dentsply, York, PA, USA) instruments. On average, the treatment took four 50-minute sessions carried out once a week. Re-evaluations were performed every four months after baseline during the 12 months.

At baseline, one previously calibrated periodontist (95.3% intra-examiner concordance) performed a complete periodontal examination on all participants. Periodontal biometric parameters were recorded at six sites per tooth (excluding third molars) using a North Carolina periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, IL, USA). At the same sites, the presence of plaque [34 (link)] and BoP were recorded dichotomously. The number and percentage of PDs ≥ 4 mm and PDs ≥ 6 mm, the number of teeth, full-mouth plaque score (FMPS) and full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS) were also recorded.
After clinical and radiographic examination, GP patients underwent a session of supragingival scaling and received oral hygiene instructions. Subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP) were performed by a single trained clinician on a quadrant-wise protocol using hand instruments (Gracey curettes, Hu-Friedy) together with a magnetostrictive device (Cavitron Select, Dentsply, York, PA, USA). NST was completed within 28 days and afterwards patients were recalled every month for supragingival prophylaxis and oral hygiene reinforcement. The periodontal parameters described above were recorded again 3 months after the completion of NST. HI did not receive any treatment but oral hygiene instructions were reinforced.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
