Two well-established ways to change it are the modified coronally advanced tunnel (MCAT) and the free gingival graft (FGG). In our randomized controlled trial, published in Clinical Oral Investigations (2022), we compared the two head to head. The study at a glance 50 patients and 140 recession defects in the anterior mandible, all with thin...]]></description><link>https://www.birtantolga.com/post/mcat-or-free-gingival-graft-for-a-thin-gingival-phenotype-5-take-home-messages-for-clinicians</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6adbac9e5e40b4f1baee9b14</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2026 18:55:48 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Birtan Tolga Yılmaz</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[İnce Diş Eti Fenotipinde MCAT mı, Serbest Diş Eti Grefti mi?

Bu fenotipi değiştirmek için iyi bilinen iki yöntem modifiye koronale ilerletilmiş tünel tekniği (MCAT) ve serbest diş eti greftidir (FGG). Clinical Oral Investigations'ta (2022) yayımlanan randomize kontrollü çalışmamızda bu iki tekniği doğrudan karşılaştırdık.
