Study Summary

This trial will compare two techniques for fixing gingival recession. One technique uses an acellular dermal matrix graft and the other does not. The investigators want to know if one technique is better than the other in terms of clinical outcomes (amount of root coverage, tissue thickness, and esthetics) and patient-centered outcomes (pain, swelling, change in daily activities).
