Abreviations: CAL, Clinical Attachment Level (6 sites); CAL-3b, Clinical Attachment Level (3 buccal sites); CAL-1b, Clinical Attachment Level (1 buccal site); CRC, Complete Root Coverage; KTW, Keratinized Tissue Width; mm, millimeters; MRC: mean root coverage; PD: probing depth (6 sites); PD-3b: probing depth (3 buccal sites); PD-1b: probing depth (1 buccal site); RD: recession depth; SD: standard deviation. The significance of differences over time was assessed by paired -test ().
