Experimental: Modified laterally stretched technique with a connective tissue graft.
After the administration of local anesthesia, root planing of the exposed root surfaces will be performed by means of hand instruments. A partial thickness envelope is performed with tunneling instruments involving one or two teeth adjacent to the tooth, in case of a very thin biotype a complete thickness envelope could be done. Two horizontal incisions are done at the base of the papillae, allowing to place the graft in a more coronal position and improving access and visibility. |
Procedure: Modified laterally stretched technique with a connective tissue graft.

Active Comparator: Tunneling technique with connective tissue graft.
Immediately before surgery, contact point composite stops were placed to prevent the collapse of the suspended sutures in the inter-proximal spaces.• The entire gingival papillary complex will be moved coronally using a vertical mattress suture anchored in the lingual gingiva. The anchorage in the lingual gingiva will be placed far apically. The suture must capture the buccal flap and graft to avail optimal stabilization (Aroca et al., 2010, 2013; Azzi et al, 2002).

- Recession depth reduction. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measured as the difference between the recession gingival depth at different follow up intervals and the baseline.
- Mean root coverage [ Time Frame: 1 year ](Preoperative vertical recession - Postoperative vertical recession/preoperative vertical recession) x 100
- Recession depth [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measured as the distance between the free gingival margin and the cemento-enamel junction .
- Recession width [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measured as the distance between the between the mesial gingival margin and distal gingival margin
- Soft tissue thickness [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The measurement of Gingival tissue thickness is performed 2 mm apical from the gingival margin.
- Keratinized tissue width [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measured as the distance between the gingival margin and the muco-gingival junction.
- Esthetics (RES) score [ Time Frame: 1 year ]A system used to evaluate five variables 6 months gingival margin (GM), marginal tissue contour (MTC), soft tissue texture (STT), MGJ alignment, and gingival color (GC).
- patient satisfaction [ Time Frame: 1 year ]A 3-item questionnaire is asked, and the patients shall use a 7-point answer scale. The answers were given on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 'not at all'' to 7 ''very likely''.
