Long‐term evaluation (20 years) of the outcomes of subepithelial connective tissue graft plus coronally advanced flap in the treatment of maxillary single recession‐type defects

Abstract

Positive RD reduction and KT improvements achieved by SCTG + CAF at short-term may be preserved long-term with the majority of the treated sites not displaying relapse of the gingival margin. Teeth lacking a minimal 2-mm width of attached KT and presenting non-carious cervical lesions were more prone to develop an apical shift of the gingival margin during a 20-year follow-up period.
