Treatment approaches have evolved, moving toward less invasive procedures like microsurgery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Twenty patients with bilateral Miller\u2019s class I and class II gingival recessions, aged between 18 and 40, were chosen at random from the Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital\u2019s outpatient department in Melmaruvathur. A coin toss was used to split the patient population into test and control groups and groups. The test group received CAF with CGF under 3.5 \u00d7 magnification using dental loupes, whereas the control group had CAF with CGF membrane using standard surgical techniques. Preoperative and three-month postoperative records were made of clinical measures, such as probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), recession height (RH), recession width (RW), and width of keratinized tissue (WKT).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Both groups\u2019 mean postoperative values showed a significant improvement. Significant decreases in RH (3.0 mm to 0.4 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), RW (2.6 mm to 0.3 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), and WKT (4.2 mm to 6.8 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0002) were seen in the control group. Significant decreases in RH (2.9 mm to 0.2 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), RW (2.9 mm to 0.2 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), and an increase in WKT (4.1 mm to 6.8 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001) were also seen in the test group. After three months, the test group had a mean percentage of 93% while the control group had a mean percentage of 87% root coverage.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Adequate root coverage was achieved using both traditional and microsurgical methods. Nonetheless, 3.5 \u00d7 magnification of CAF with CGF membrane resulted in reduced postoperative discomfort, better healing, more surgical accuracy, and improved ergonomics.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_1181_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,6]],"date-time":"2024-12-06T07:00:33Z","timestamp":1733468433000},"page":"S3730-S3733","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparison of Root Coverage Procedure done with and without Loupes along with CGF\u2014A Clinical Study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ramnath","family":"Elangovan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics, Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital, Melmaruvathur, Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kowsalya","family":"Nallathambi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics, Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital, Melmaruvathur, Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dinesh C","family":"Maganti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics and Community Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Rwanda, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anitha","family":"Maganti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, Hospital La Croix du Sud, Kigali, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dona","family":"Soman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthetic and Restorative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Rwanda, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niranjan","family":"Diwekar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthetic and Restorative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Rwanda, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20241227","first-page":"171","article-title":"Ar en utlakning utan vovnadsfortust otankbar vid kirurgisk behandling av.
