At baseline, and 1, 6, 12, and 60 months after surgery, location of gingival margin (LGM), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), width of keratinized gingiva (WKG), and location of mucogingival junction (LMGJ) were recorded. The alterations in the clinical measurements at the different evaluation times were analyzed using the Friedman and the repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests, where applicable. Degree of association between continuous variables was calculated by the Pearson's correlation coefficient<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The mean percentage of root coverage obtained at the end of 1 month was 68.26% \u00b1 30.37% (P &lt;0.05) and at 60 months, it was reduced to 44.86% \u00b1 33.91% (P &lt;0.01). LGM (r = 0.592, P &lt;0.001), CAL (r = 0.590, P &lt;0.01), WKG (r = 0.442, P &lt;0.05), and LMGJ (r = 0.653, P &lt;0.001) were found to be significantly correlated with the 60\u2010month postoperative values of LMGJ. At the end of the 60\u2010month follow\u2010up period, the mean apical displacement of LGM was 0.67 \u00b1 0.72 mm and the same mean apical displacement value for LMGJ was 0.98 \u00b1 1.19 mm<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Within the limits of this study, the 60\u2010month follow\u2010up findings indicated that the CRF procedure failed to maintain the gingival tissue in a coronal position and that the observed movement of the MGJ back to its original position was partially dependent on the apical movement of gingival margin<\/jats:italic>.J Periodontol 2004;75:893\u2010901.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2004.75.6.893","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,2]],"date-time":"2005-02-02T02:52:12Z","timestamp":1107312732000},"page":"893-901","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Alterations in Location of the Mucogingival Junction 5 Years After Coronally Repositioned Flap Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Cem A.","family":"G\u00fcrgan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.
