MINST Versus Conventional Subgingival Instrumentation In RT1 Gingival Recession

Gingival recession is a common condition and its extent and prevalence increase with age. Majority of patients probably present with localized and shallow gingival recession that need a specific treatment because they are susceptible to further apical displacement of gingival margin. So if gingival recession is detected early, removal of causative factors and non surgical treatments initiated then it can prevent more advanced mucogingival defects. Studies have shown that non surgical periodontal therapy including proper oral hygiene instructions, periodic scaling and root planning obtained successful root coverage in shallow gingival recession. Minimal invasive non surgical periodontal therapy (MINST)uses the delicate instruments and magnifying loupes performing periodontal debridement with more effective calculus and biofilm removal and less soft tissue trauma , maintain the tissue architecture, benefit the healing phase, improve the clinical results and increase visibility. There is no study to evaluate efficacy of MINST versus conventional subgingival instrumentation in the restorative capacity of marginal gingival in RT1 gingival recession , so the present study will be conducted to compare and evaluate the efficacy of minimal invasive non surgical periodontal therapy (MINST) and conventional subgingival instrumentation in the restorative capacity of marginal gingiva involving RT1 gingival recession.
