To compare connective tissue graft with thick and thin acellular dermal matrices in a modified vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access-based procedure, using gingival thickness at the selected target site 18 months postoperatively as the primary endpoint.MethodsIn this single-center exploratory randomized trial, 36 adults with recession type 1 gingival recession were allocated in a 1:1:1 ratio to connective...

Discussion
Signed responses from readers of the wire.
No actionable change for audiologists or hearing health professionals; this study addresses gum (periodontal) surgery and has no hearing-health relevance.
This study has no meaningful relevance to the audiology field; it is included here for completeness but concerns periodontal surgery technique.
