Clinical Evaluation of the Modified Laterally Stretched Technique (RT2) Gingival Recession vs Tunneling With CT Grafting

Regression analysis in a recent systematic review showed significantly greater mRC and CRC values when modifications are done to the TUN procedure to achieve more coronal advancement of the flap, coronal advancement also helps in covering the underlying graft for better recession coverage outcomes (Tavelli et al., 2018), limited data is present on the possible influence of a covered or partially uncovered graft. However, it has been suggested that minimal exposure of the CTG may aid not only in achieving CRC but also a harmonious gingival margin (John et al., 2015; Rasperini et al., 2011).
