ClinConnect Summary

The purpose of this study is to confirm that periodontal regeneration happens after mucogingival surgery The principal outcome is compare the millimeters of new attachment create after a connective tissue graft and after the use of a porcine collagen matrix in teeth that have to been extracted (because of the orthodontic planing treatment) after mucogingival surgery .

The secondary outcomes are:

1. length of new cementum (histometry results)
2. length of the junctional epithelium (histometry results)
3. length of connective tissue attachment (histometry results)
4. complete root coverage ...
