The main questions it aims to answer are:Which treatment method, Coronally Positioned Flap with Connective Tissue Graft or Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel with connective tissue graft, is more effective in treating gum recession? How does the Anatomical Recession Rate, a new measurement technique, help in evaluating the success of these treatments?The patients will be treated with coronally advanced flap or modified coronally advanced tunnel + connective tissue graft to see which method is more effective in reducing gum recession, as measured by using anatomical recession rate., conditionsModule conditions: Gingival Recession, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: This randomized controlled trial compares two gingival recession treatments: Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) with Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) versus Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel (MCAT) with CTG. Participants are randomized 1:1 to either intervention. Outcomes assessors are blinded to allocation, ensuring unbiased evaluation of the primary outcome, Anatomical Recession Rate (ARR), and secondary clinical outcomes over a 12-month follow-up., primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: DOUBLE, maskingDescription: This study implements single-blind masking where outcomes assessors are unaware of participants' group assignments to minimize bias. While blinding participants and care providers is not feasible due to the nature of surgical interventions, strict protocols ensure assessors remain blinded to treatment allocation throughout the study, enhancing outcome evaluation objectivity., whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 40, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Coronally Positioned Flap with Connective Tissue Graft, interventions name: Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel with Connective Tissue Graft, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Anatomical Recession Rate (ARR), secondaryOutcomes measure: Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), secondaryOutcomes measure: Gingival Thickness (GT), secondaryOutcomes measure: Keratinized Tissue Thickness (KTT), secondaryOutcomes measure: Wound healing index (WHI), secondaryOutcomes measure: Tissue appearance, secondaryOutcomes measure: Aesthetic evaluation, secondaryOutcomes measure: Dentin hypersensitivity, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 60 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Hacettepe University, city: Ankara, zip: 06100, country: Turkey, contacts name: Abdullah Akman, PHD, role: CONTACT, phone: +905327609139, email: dtacakman@yahoo.com, geoPoint lat: 39.91987, lon: 32.85427, hasResults: False
