Abstract | BACKGROUND/AIM: METHODS: The study included 20 teeth with gingival recession, Müller class II and III. Ten teeth with gingival recession were treated with resorptive membrane and coronary guided surgical flap (GTR group). On the contralateral side 10 teeth with gingival recession were treated with connective tissue autotransplants with periosteum in combination with coronary guided surgical flap (TVT group). We measured the degree of epithelial attachment (DEA), width of subgingival curettage (WGC) and vertical deepness of recession (VDR). For statistical significance we used Student's t-test. RESULTS: The study revealed statistical significance in reducing VDR by both used treatments. Root deepness in GTR and TVT group was 63.5%, and 90%, respectively. With both surgical techniques we achieved coronary dislocation of the epithelial attachment, larger zone of gingival curettage, and better oral hygiene. CONCLUSION:
