Key Points

To assess the impact of root conditioning with 24% EDTA on the long-term outcomes of gingival recession treatments.
Conducted a randomized clinical trial comparing treatment outcomes of modified coronally advanced tunnel technique with and without EDTA root conditioning.
Evaluated patients 3 and 5 years postoperatively.
No significant difference in treatment outcomes between the groups with and without EDTA.
The application of EDTA root conditioning is not justified in clinical practice based on the findings.

Implication

Randomized clinical trial evaluates the effect of EDTA on gingival recession treatments over 3 and 5 years, suggesting limited benefit.

Abstract

Root surface conditioning with 24% EDTA did not contribute to the outcomes of MCAT+SCTG - 3 and 5 years postoperatively. Thus, its application in clinical practice is not justified.
