Non-submerged grafts are not recommended for root-coverage procedures when esthetics are a priority. Soft tissue appearance and follow-up duration significantly impact cosmetic outcomes in root-coverage surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Dental Aesthetics

Background:

  • Root-coverage procedures aim to restore gingival margins.
  • Esthetic outcomes are increasingly important in periodontal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate esthetic outcomes of four root-coverage techniques.
  • Identify factors influencing esthetic assessment.

Main Methods:

  • A panel of three observers assessed 162 root-coverage surgeries.
  • A before-after panel scoring system and a five-point ordinal scale were used.
  • Interobserver agreement was assessed using kappa statistics.

Main Results:

  • High esthetic success (>70%) was reported by observers.
  • Non-submerged grafts showed significantly different outcomes compared to other techniques.

  • Soft tissue appearance and follow-up duration were significant factors in cosmetic assessment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Non-submerged grafts are not advised for esthetically demanding cases.
    • Future studies should prioritize qualitative esthetic evaluation.
    • A minimum follow-up of 12 months is recommended for esthetic assessments.
