Therefore, the aim of the present trial is to compare the efficacies of partial\u2010 and full\u2010thickness flap reflections combined with an SCTG.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Twenty patients with Miller Class I or II defects (52 teeth) were selected, and teeth with defects were randomly assigned to the test group (25 teeth) for a CAF and SCTG using a full\u2010thickness flap reflection or to the control group (27 teeth) for a CAF associated with an SCTG and partial\u2010thickness flap reflection. The probing depth (PD), gingival recession (GR), and width of the keratinized tissue (KT) were assessed at baseline and 6 months after surgery.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The mean root coverage was 97% in the test group (mean reduction in GR: 2.27 \u00b1 1.15 mm) and 95% in the control group (mean reduction in GR: 1.68 \u00b1 0.74 mm). The gain in KT was 0.46 \u00b1 1.47 mm in the test group and 0.49 \u00b1 1.3 mm in the control group, the PD ranged from 1.33 to 1.55 mm in the test group and from 1.31 to 1.64 mm in the control group; no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups for all of these parameters (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt;0.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> The elevation of a full\u2010 or partial\u2010thickness flap did not appear to influence the amount of KT or the percentage of root coverage achieved post\u2010surgically.
