Coronal advanced flap in combination with a connective tissue graft. Is the thickness of the flap a predictor for root coverage? A prospective clinical study.

Aim: Evaluate if there is any relationship between the flap thickness (FT) and the presence of complete root coverage (CRC) when performing coronally advanced flaps in combination with a connective tissue graft (CTG).

Materials And Methods: Prospective clinical study, in which multiple Miller class I and II recessions were treated with a coronally advanced flap and a CTG standardized at 1 mm of thickness. Individual stents permitted repeated measurements of conventional periodontal parameters at the same point.
