One hundred patients with 195 single or multiple recessions were treated using different techniques. One year after surgery, the clinical outcomes were evaluated. Only 21 of 195 (11%) treated recessions obtained the maximum RES score (10), while 68 recessions (35%) showing complete root coverage obtained lower scores. Both single and multiple recessions treated with a coronally advanced flap with or without connective tissue grafting achieved similar RES scores. Free gingival grafts showed the lowest score.
