Influence of immediate postoperative gingival thickness and gingival margin position on the outcomes of root coverage therapy: A 6 months prospective case series study using 3D digital measuring methods.

The Scientific rationale for the study relies on the lack of 3D digital measuring tools in the assessment of soft tissue healing dynamics after root coverage therapy. The principal findings of this study can be summarized as follows: tooth type, tooth position, and post-operative gingival margin position and gingival thickness and volume changes are predictors of CRC. Therefore, the practical implications are that the more thickness and more coronal advancement achieved immediately after root coverage surgery, the higher chance of achieving CRC.
