The hypothesis of this study was that the CAF can partially reduce GR values over time. Root coverage (RC) in 24 Miller Class I GRs treated with a CAF by one experienced operator is presented with several periodontal parameters and postoperative morbidity. The mean percentage of RC was 80.35% at 3 months and 58.56% at 24 months; these differences were statistically significant. Keratinized gingival width, keratinized papillary gingival height, and gingival thickness were related to RC at 6 months. Postoperative pain was not statistically different over time. The CAF is not a predictable treatment for Miller Class I GRs after a 2-year follow-up period. AID - 853934
