Root Coverage Esthetic Score After Treatment of Gingival Recession: An Interrater Agreement Multicenter Study

Abstract

Tested individually by a group of periodontists, the RES seems to be a reliable method for assessing the esthetic outcomes of root coverage procedures.

The root coverage esthetic score: Intra‐examiner reliability among dental students and dental faculty

“…12 Of the photos used previously by Dr. Cairo, 41 baseline and 6-month post-treatment photos of single Miller Class I and II gingival recessions 13 that did not display distortion, lack of focus, or poor color were provided. 12 Of the photos used previously by Dr. Cairo, 41 baseline and 6-month post-treatment photos of single Miller Class I and II gingival recessions 13 that did not display distortion, lack of focus, or poor color were provided.…”

“…12 The participants were then shown 25 projections of sideby-side baseline and 6-month outcomes of mucogingival surgeries. 12 The participants were then shown 25 projections of sideby-side baseline and 6-month outcomes of mucogingival surgeries.…”

“…The inter-examiner reliability of the VAS could not be determined as only one periodontist was involved in the evaluations. 12 While the reproducibility of repeated assessments and the reliability of RES measurements between and among professionals with the same high level of experience has been shown, the assessments among evaluators who can be distinguished by training and experience in periodontology in a dental school environment has never been tested. The degree of root coverage, color, volume, texture, amount of keratinized mucosa, gingival contour, and the lack of scarring compared to adjacent tissues were scored as either: poor, fair, good, very good, and excellent.…”

“…Furthermore, quality improvement in root coverage outcomes is currently advocated. CRC with soft tissue integration along with the adjacent tissue, including good color match and absence of scars, is now considered as the final goal [4, 5]. …”

“…The incidence of adverse effects, such as discomfort with or without pain, was directly related to donor sites of CTG [12]. Also, procedures that made a reduction in the operatory time, eliminated the need for a second surgical site and its associated morbidity and used smaller palatal grafts was better accepted [13].…”
