About this trial
Thin gingival phenotype is one of the major causative factors of gingival recession type 1 which can result in hypersensitivity, discomfort, and compromised esthetics. This study assess the efficacy of increasing the gingival thickness from thin gingival phenotype to thick gingival phenotype in the treatment of patients suffering from gingival recession (RT1) and maintenance of results using either connective tissue graft or de-epithelized free gingival graft after non-surgical periodontal debridement compared to non-surgical periodontal debridement alone.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Gingival phenotype change
determination of the change in gingival thickness in mm using periodontal probe
Secondary outcomes
Keratinized tissue width
determination of Keratinized tissue width in mm using periodontal probe
Root coverage esthetic score (RES)
It is a scoring system to assess the level of gingival margin (GM),marginal tissue contour (MTC),Soft tissue texture, Mucogingival alignment (MGJ),Gingival color The score is 0,1 and 3 where 0 is the minimum and 3 is the maximum
