Methods | RCT, parallel design, 2 treatment groups, 12 months' duration | |
Participants | 40 individuals, 30 females, aged 18 to 60 years, with 1 Miller Class I or II buccal gingival recession of at least 3 mm. 36 individuals completed the study | |
Interventions | 1. SCTG + platelet‐rich plasma + CAF 2. SCTG + CAF |
|
Outcomes | GRC CALC KTC SCRC PCRC MRC (Manual probe) |

Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | High risk | Quote: "The first patient was selected in one of the two experimental groups by coin toss, and the next patient was consecutively added to the opposite group by one of the authors" |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | High risk | Quote: "The first patient was selected in one of the two experimental groups by coin toss, and the next patient was consecutively added to the opposite group by one of the authors" |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Information not reported |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | All measurements were performed by 1 examiner not aware of the type of surgical procedure |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Data are missing in both intervention groups (4 patients discontinued the study between 6‐ to 12‐month evaluations due to moving to another city). Thus, decision to move house away from the geographical location to another is unlikely to be connected with their subsequent outcome |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Evidence of selective reporting of outcomes was not detected |
Other bias | Low risk | Evidence of other bias was not detected |
