Clinical evaluation of semilunar coronally repositioned flap versus coronally advanced flap in the treatment of Miller’s Class I gingival recession defects in maxillary anteriors and premolars
Meenu V. Pillai, Rizwan M. Sanadi

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinicallythe treatment of gingival recession by semilunar coronally repositioned flap versus coronally advanced flap in maxillary anteriors and premolars. Method: Twenty bilateral sites with at least one bilateral Miller’s Class Igingival recession defects were selected. A split mouth study was designed wherein Site A was treated with semilunar coronally repositioned flap and Site B was treated with coronally advanced flap. Results: Descriptive statistics were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) for each group. Intragroup and intergroup variations in the various clinical parameters over a period of 3 months, were analysed using Paired t test, Unpaired t test and Repeated measures ANOVA (test of significance with Bonferroni correction). In the above tests, p value less than or equal to 0.05 (p≤0.05) was taken to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Coronally advanced flap showed comparatively better result than semilunar coronally repositioned flap for the treatment of Miller’s Class I gingival recession. Key words: Coronally repositioned flap, gingival recession.
