The ESCAPE multicentre survey was designed to (a) compare the agreement of three relevant aesthetic scoring systems among different centres, and (b) evaluate reproducibility each question questionnaires.EFP centres (n = 14) were involved in an e-survey. Forty-two participants (28 teachers, 14 postgraduate students) asked score one-year outcomes photographs using Before-After Scoring System (BASS), Pink Esthetic Score (PES) Root coverage (RES). Mean values kappa statistics performed on provided resume global method.Between a difference ≥ 0.41 (p .01) found for BASS (75%) PES (57%). Similarly, RES (84%) (57%) < .001). No between (84%). students, whatever system. Questions system showed differences their reproducibility.The this study indicate that are reproducible tools after root therapies centres. Among various variables, lack scar, degree coverage, colour match gingival margin follows CEJ show best reliability.
