Hyaluronic Acid With Connective Tissue Grafting for Gingival Recession

Summary

This study evaluates whether adding 0.8% hyaluronic acid (HA) to connective tissue grafting and coronally advanced flap surgery improves clinical and esthetic outcomes in the treatment of gingival recession. Adult patients with Miller I-II or Cairo RT1 recession defects will be randomly assigned to receive CTG alone or CTG with adjunctive HA. Mean root coverage at 6 months is the primary outcome, while secondary measures include gingival thickness, clinical attachment level, esthetic scores, postoperative morbidity, and quality of life. The study aims to determine whether HA enhances soft tissue healing and root coverage predictability compared with conventional CTG.
