“…The greater keratinized tissue width increase in the CTG‐ treated sites compared to ADM (Harris, ) may have affected the long‐term outcomes, as the positive role of keratinized tissue width on the stability of the gingival margin has been proven by other studies (Pini Prato, Franceschi, et al, ; Pini Prato, Magnani, et al, ). In line with other previous studies (Harris, ; Moslemi et al, ), we did not observe a significant change in the KTW in either groups at 6 months or at the 12‐year recall, suggesting that ADM may not have the capability of inducing keratinization of the overlying epithelium, which seems a prerogative of the CTG (Sculean, Gruber, & Bosshardt, ; Yu, Tseng, & Wang, ). It has been demonstrated that having keratinized tissue width ≥ 2 mm at the baseline is a positive predictor for the stability of the gingival margin over time (Pini Prato, Franceschi, et al, ; Pini Prato, Magnani, et al, ).…”
