OBJECTIVES: Key clinical factors influencing root coverage (RC) outcome of gingival recession included interdental clinical attachment level (iCAL), interdental bone loss and width of keratinized tissue (KTW). Evidence showed vestibule depth (VD) may also have an impact on RC. The principal objective of the study was to evaluate the prognostic role of VD in RT2 gingival recession defects....

No actionable change for audiologists — this study concerns dental and periodontal surgery and has no relevance to audiology practice.
This article has no meaningful relevance to the audiology field; it concerns periodontal (gum) surgery outcomes.
