Filter by:Twenty patients with gingival recession will be enrolled in this trial. Gingival recession will be treated in one side by applying Mucograft® with coronally advanced flap (CAF) while on the opposite side a connective tissue graft (from the palate) will be applied with a CAF. Patients will be followed for 3 and 6 months by measuring the clinical indexes and statistical analyses will be performed to compare the results and to assess the success of Mucograft®.
This study tests if a bristle-less tooth brush has any measurable effect on gum recession in patients who are seen regularly for preventive dental care compared to a regular soft tooth-brush. Subjects are recruited from patients attending the Western University of Health Sciences Dental Center and asked to continue regular preventive dental care while using either the test or control brush for a year and using floss and toothpaste supplied by the researchers. The exams include measurement of plaque, pockets and gum recession every 3 months, and involve photographs and impressions of the teeth and gums to record any changes that occur.
Miller Class I Gingival Recessions (GR) have been treated by using Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) with Platelet Rich Fibrin membrane (PRF membrane) or Connective Tissue Graft (CTG). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different multiple layers of PRF membranes for the treatment of GR and compare the results with CTG procedure.
Recently porcine derived bioresorbable collagen matrices have shown predictable outcomes for augmenting keratinzed gingiva , improved wound healing, recession coverage in localized gingival recessions and multiple recession coverage. However there are very few randomized controlled clinical trials in the literature that compare collagen matrix versus connective tissue graft in the management of multiple recession type defects. To the best of our knowledge there is only one randomized controlled trial that compares modified coronally advanced tunnel+connective tissue graft with collagen matrix in the management of multiple gingival recessions. Thus aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of collagen versus CTG in the management of Millers class I and II multiple gingival recessions. The use of collagen matrix in combination with Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel as a surgical technique will be compared for recession coverage.
- Gingival recession is defined as the apical migration of gingival margin beyond cemento-enamel junction with the exposure of root surface. More than 20% of the population presents one or more tooth surfaces with gingival recession. - The main conditions leading to the development of this defect are gingival anatomical factors, chronic trauma, periodontitis, malposed tooth and dentinal hypersensitivity. - The main goal of treating gingival recession is to restore the gingival margin to cement-enamel junction (CEJ) and normal sulcus with a functional attachment. - A recent innovation in Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) technique is the use of second generation platelet concentrate, called as Platelet-Rich Fibrin membrane (PRF) that contains growth factors and cicatricial properties for root coverage procedures. - Space is necessary to provide a channel for the migration of progenitor cells towards and on the denuded root surface, where they can differentiate into cementum and periodontal ligament cells. - Since the gingival recession defects are non-space making, it may be difficult using the membrane technique alone, and hence, the use of a graft material underneath the membrane may help to resolve this problem. Root coverage tended to be better with the addition of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA). These allografts prevent the collapse of membrane into the defect, stimulate the proliferation of osteogenic progenitor cells, and are thus, capable of promoting regeneration of attachment apparatus. - Till date, no study is available in the literature on clinical evaluation of CAF (Coronally Advanced Flap)+PRF+DFDBA vs CAF+PRF for the management of gingival recession defects. - And hence, this study is designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of DFDBA (Rocky Mountain Particulate Allograft) for the management of isolated gingival recession defects.
Gingival recession (GR) is frequently associated with deterioration in dental esthetics and dental hypersensitivity. Outcomes from recent systematic reviews have demonstrated that when the root is covered and the gain in the width of keratinized tissue (KT) is expected, the use of subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTGs) associated with coronally advanced flaps (CAF) appears to be more predictable, and may be considered the gold standard procedure. However, the SCTGs may increase patients' morbidity (e.g., pain). This occurs because of the need for a donor surgical area, which may increase the risk of surgical complications like bleeding, as well as increases post-operative discomfort and the period of the surgical procedure. Another biomaterial, a new collagen matrix (CM) has been used as a substitute for the SCTG. The use of CM was associated with a significant reduction in post-operative morbidity, less post-operative pain and discomfort in the patient, and more esthetic satisfaction.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical, aesthetic and patient-centered parameters of connective tissue graft associated or not with partial resin composite (RC) for the treatment of gingival recession with NCCL, performed before the surgical procedure.
The aim of this study was to compare clinical, esthetic and patient-centered outcomes of coronally advanced tunnel (TUN) and coronally advanced flap (CAF) both associated with connective tissue graft (CTG) in the treatment of gingival recession.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment of multiple gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) using a modified coronally advanced flap in combination with a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) on restored root surfaces. Methods: Twenty-three systemically healthy subjects, who were positive for the presence of three cervical lesions associated with gingival recessions in three different adjacent teeth, were enrolled in the study. The NCCL were each restored prior to surgery by using one of three different materials: composite resin (group 1), resin-modified glass ionomer cement (group 2) or giomer (group 3). The defects were treated with SCTG. Clinical measurements, including plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), relative recession height (rRH), probing depth (PD), cervical lesion height (CLH), relative clinical attachment level (rCAL), keratinized tissue height (KTH), keratinized tissue thickness (KTT), percentage of root coverage (RC), and percentage of cervical lesion height coverage (CLHC) were recorded at baseline, 3 and 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively.
The gold standard for the treatment of gingival recession, is the coronal repositioning of the flap associated with the subepithelial connective tissue graft. The acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been used as a substitute a subepithelial connective tissue graft in periodontal plastic surgery and mucogengivais, and has achieved similar results. The use of ADM has the advantage of avoiding possible pre and postoperative complications, as well as overcome the limitations presented by autograft. The different surgical techniques used for root coverage seek predictability and success. For this, besides the type of incision placements flap and graft are of utmost importance because the healing benefit and outcome. The aim of this study is to compare two surgical techniques for root coverage and evaluate which one provides better cosmetic results and less morbidity . 20 adults , nonsmoking patients , showing multiple bilateral gingival recessions , class I or II Miller located in canine, first and second premolars are selected. Both techniques use the ADM as a graft. However , in one Quadrant partial flap will be held together with relaxing incisions through an incision intrasucular , ADM will be positioned 1 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the flap will be positioned 1 mm coronal CEJ. In the opposite quadrant a minimally invasive technique periosteal envelope above does not use relaxing incisions , preserves the buds will be held , as well as avoiding any scars, the graft will be used to ADM. The clinical parameters (probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing index, height and width of the gingival retraction and height and thickness of keratinized gingiva) will be evaluated 2 weeks after the basic periodontal therapy and after 6 and 12 months to surgical procedures. In addition, measurements of photographic gingival recession with the aid of software will be performed.
