Control Group: Semilunar Coronally Positioned Flap (SCPF) Group The operation area was anaesthetized using local anesthesia (2% lignocaine with 1:80000 adrenaline). The exposed root surface was planed to remove altered cementum and flatten it to permit a more intimate adaptation of the flap to the recipient bed. Semilunar incision following the curvature of the free gingival margin is made with No. 15 blade. The incision should curve apically far enough mid-facially to ensure that the apical part of the flap rests on bone after it is brought down to cover the exposed root. The incision should end into the papilla on each end of the tooth,but not all the way to the tip of the papilla. At least 2 mm must be left on either side of the flap (Fig.1-B), since this is the main source of blood supply. Later a sulcular split thickness incision is made.Using microsurgical blades (Lance tip blade 150 and Slit blade 2.8mm), a split thickness dissection is made from the initial incision line coronally. This is connected with an intra-sulcular incision, made mid-facially. The mid-facial tissue is then coronally positioned to the CEJ, or to the height of the adjacent papilla. Thetissue is held in place with moist gauze against the tooth for 5 min then sutured with sling sutures using vicryl 5-0 (Fig.1-C). A thin layer of periodontal dressing (Coepack®) was applied over the site.
