The 73 contralateral homologous sites (control group), with or without recession and with or without attached gingiva, were not treated. Patients were recalled every 4 months during the follow\u2010up period (10 to 27 years). Clinical variables, including recession depth, amount of keratinized tissue (KT), and probing depth (PD), were measured in treated and untreated sites at baseline, at 1 year, and at the end of the follow\u2010up period.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> At the end of the follow\u2010up period, recession was reduced in all treated sites (1.5 \u00b1 1.0 mm for SMFGG and 1.3 \u00b1 0.9 mm for MFGG), whereas it was increased in the untreated sites (\u22120.7 \u00b1 0.7 mm for SMFGG and \u22121.0 \u00b1 0.5 mm for MFGG). In the treated sites, the increased KT remained quite stable during the follow\u2010up period. PD remained stable (1 mm) in the treated and untreated sites.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> The sites treated with gingival\u2010augmentation surgery showed a tendency for coronal displacement of the gingival margin with a reduction in recession. The contralateral untreated sites showed a tendency for apical displacement of the gingival margin with an increase in the existing recessions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2009.090122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,1]],"date-time":"2009-09-01T08:49:24Z","timestamp":1251794964000},"page":"1399-1405","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":75,"title":["Periodontal Conditions of Sites Treated With Gingival\u2010Augmentation Surgery Compared to Untreated Contralateral Homologous Sites: A 10\u2010 to 27\u2010Year Long\u2010Term Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"G.","family":"Agudio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Nieri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Rotundo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Franceschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Cortellini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.P.","family":"Pini Prato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1983.tb02208.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1983.tb01275.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1977.tb02273.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1972.43.10.623"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1994.tb00278.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/annals.1996.1.1.702"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1982.53.6.349"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1985.tb00938.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1980.51.5.274"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2008.070414"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-147-8-200710160-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","first-page":"229","article-title":"Problems and proposals for recording gingivitis and plaque","volume":"25","author":"Ainamo J","year":"1975","journal-title":"Int Dent J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1980.51.12.681"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1992.tb01148.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1987.58.10.696"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","first-page":"404","article-title":"Strip gingival autograft used to correct mucogingival problems around implants","volume":"15","author":"Han TJ","year":"1995","journal-title":"Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent"}],"container-title":["Journal of Periodontology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/aap.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1902\/jop.2009.090122","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T09:14:35Z","timestamp":1760865275000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aap.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1902\/jop.2009.090122"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,9]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1902\/jop.2009.090122"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1902\/jop.2009.090122","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-3492","1943-3670"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-3492","type":"print"},{"value":"1943-3670","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,9]]}}}
