Root coverage esthetic scoring system given by Francesco Cairo

Parameters	Scores
GM	Score 0: Failure of root coverage (gingival margin apical or equal to the baseline recession)
	Score 3: Partial root coverage
	Score 6: Complete root coverage
MTC	Score 0: Irregular gingival margin
	Score1: Proper marginal contour/scalloped gingival margin (follows CEJ)
STT	Score 0: Scar formation and/or keloid like appearance
	Score 1: Absence of scar or keloid formation
MGJ	Score 0: MGJ not aligned with MGJ of adjacent teeth
	Score 1: MGJ aligned with MGJ of adjacent teeth
GC	Score 0: Color of tissue varies from gingival color at adjacent teeth
	Score 1: Normal color and integration with the adjacent soft tissues

GM – Gingival margin; MTC – Marginal tissue contour; STT – Soft-tissue texture; MGJ – Mucogingival junction; GC – Gingival color; CEJ – Cementoenamel junction
