The aim of this study is to clinically compare the efficacy of FGG harvested with erbium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er: YAG) laser stabilized with 5-0 silk suture in comparison to N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive in increasing the width of keratinized gingiva (WK) for the management of Miller's Class I and II gingival recession.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty-eight gingival recession defects were divided into two Groups I and II. Group I sites were treated with FGG harvested using Er: YAG laser stabilized with 5-0 silk suture and Group II sites were treated with FGG harvested using Er: YAG laser stabilized with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive. Clinical parameters such as gingival recession depth, clinical attachment level (CAL), gain in gingival tissue thickness, and WK were recorded at baseline and 3 and 6 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A significant reduction in gingival recession defects, gain in CAL, increase in WK, and gain in gingival tissue thickness were observed in both the groups. Intergroup comparison of gingival recession defects, CAL, WK, and gingival tissue thickness yielded nonsignificant differences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that both 5-0 silk suture and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate were equally efficacious in the stabilization of FGG. N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate was easy to apply, consumed less operating time, and had no adverse effect. Hence, cyanoacrylate can be used as an alternative to suture in stabilization of FGG.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_404_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]],"date-time":"2023-02-08T06:05:28Z","timestamp":1675836328000},"page":"S1672-S1678","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Comparative Evaluation of Silk Suture and Cyanoacrylate Adhesive in the Stabilization of Free Gingival Graft Harvested with Erbium: Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet Laser: A Clinical Study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Asim","family":"Goel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"MDS, Periodontology, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepika","family":"Ghai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MDS, Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anchal","family":"Sood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Baba Jaswant Singh Dental College, Ludhiana, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gagan Preet","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, GGS Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Puneet Kamal","family":"Nagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Punjab Government Dental College and Hospital, Amritsar, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Padam","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Desh Bhagat Dental College and Hospital, Mandi Gobindharh, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250920","first-page":"1","article-title":"Gingival recession: Review and strategies in treatment of recession","volume":"2012","author":"Pradeep","year":"2012","journal-title":"Case Rep Dent"},{"key":"R2-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"66","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-124X.145790","article-title":"Comparative clinical evaluation of coronally advanced flap with or without platelet rich fibrin membrane in the treatment of isolated gingival recession","volume":"19","author":"Thamaraiselvan","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Indian Soc Periodontol"},{"key":"R3-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1446","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2004.75.11.1446","article-title":"Effect of enamel matrix derivative on collagen guided tissue regeneration-based root coverage procedure","volume":"75","author":"Trabulsi","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Periodontol"},{"key":"R4-20250920","first-page":"189","article-title":"Etiology and severity of different grades of gingival recession in adult population","volume":"4","author":"Khosya","year":"2014","journal-title":"Natl J Med Res"},{"issue":"Suppl 15","key":"R5-20250920","first-page":"S44","article-title":"Efficacy of periodontal plastic surgery procedures in the treatment of localized facial gingival recessions.
