Bilateral recession defects in each patient were randomly divided into two groups, SCPF+FGG (test group) who were treated with combined technique of semilunar coronally positioned flap with free gingival graft and SCPF (control group) treated with semilunar coronally positioned flap alone, 10 defects in each group. The defects were randomly selected by coin toss to be treated either with the SCPF + FGG or SCPF alone. Changes in clinical parameters during a follow-up period of 1, 3, 6 and 12 months were recorded using UNC 15 probe along the long axis of the tooth over the mid-root surface expressed in millimetres. An acrylic occlusal stent was used as the fixed reference point to determine the amount of root coverage gained and changes in probing attachment level during the follow up where as WKT assessed using Lugol's iodine.
