Method of Generating Random Sequence   Stratified block randomization 
Method of Concealment   Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes 
Blinding/Masking   Participant and Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Both materials are expected to aid wound healing. The amniotic membrane may improve comfort (VAS) and regeneration (CAL). Key clinical measures include: Recession Depth (RD), Recession Width (RW), Keratinized Tissue Width (KTW), Gingival Thickness (GT), Root Coverage (RC) %, Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), and Probing Pocket Depth (PPD). If effective, it could be a cost-efficient option for gingival recession treatment.

 
follow up at baseline, 3 months and 6 months 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Changes in Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), and Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) to assess gingival health, oral hygiene status, and periodontal stability throughout the study period.

Brief Summary  

Gingival recession refers to the downward movement of the gum line below the cementoenamel junction, leading to root exposure and loss of attachment. It results from a combination of susceptibility factors (e.g., thin gingival biotype, lack of keratinized tissue) and modifiable conditions (e.g., plaque buildup, traumatic brushing, smoking, and systemic diseases like diabetes).

Understanding the etiology is key for prevention and management, with major causes being plaque-induced inflammation and mechanical trauma from improper brushing. Conventional surgical treatments (e.g., free gingival grafts, coronally advanced flaps) are effective but often invasive and esthetically limiting.

To overcome these challenges, minimally invasive techniques like the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) were developed. PST involves small pinholes instead of large incisions, minimizing trauma, eliminating sutures, and improving esthetic outcomes.

Additionally, biomaterials such as collagen membranes and amniotic membranes (AM) are used to enhance healing. AM, derived from human placental tissue, promotes soft tissue healing, supports cell migration, and reduces surgical time due to its self-adhesive nature.

The study proposes to evaluate the effectiveness and predictability of PST in combination with AM for treating marginal tissue recession, aiming to improve clinical outcomes with less invasiveness.
