Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different treatment agents used in conjunction with subepithelial connective graft technique on root coverage outcomes in multiple recession defects. Half of patients will receive root treatment with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and the other half will receive photobiomodulation therapy by laser on surgery site.

Description:

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy has been widely used in Periodontics to obtain reduction of periodontopathogenic bacteria with absence of systemic side effects and minimal bacterial resistance. Also, it has properties of root demineralization and exposure of collagen fibers. These properties may enhance root coverage in procedures of subepithelial connective graft. Laser photobiomodulation has the potential to increase healing and repair, this can generate gains in the root coverage and dental hypersensitivity.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Gingival Recession
• Gingival Recession, Generalized

Intervention

Procedure:
• Control
In the procedure of subepithelial connective tissue graft, exposed dental roots will be treated by scaling and root planing only.
• antimicrobial photodynamic therapy
In the procedure of subepithelial connective tissue graft, exposed dental roots will be treated by antimicrobial photodynamic therapy with toluidine blue O (10mg/ml)
• Photobiomodulation
After the procedure of subepithelial connective tissue graft the whole surgical site will receive red laser application.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Total root coverage	Total root coverage measured with a periodontal probe in millimeters. Ideal if the distance from cemento-enamel junction to gingival margin = 0 mm	One year
Secondary	Keratinized mucosa width	Keratinized mucosa width is measured with a periodontal probe in mm, from gingival margin to mucogingival junction. Ideal if keratinized mucosa width > 5mm	One year
Secondary	Probing depth	Probing depth measured with a periodontal probe in millimeters. The distance from gingival margin and the apical point of gingival pocket or sulcus. Ideal if <2mm.	One year
Secondary	Clinical attachment level	Clinical attachment level measured with a periodontal probe in millimeters. The distance from cemento-enamel junction and the apical point of gingival pocket or sulcus. Ideal if <2mm.	One year
Secondary	Dentin hypersensitivity	Dentin hypersensitivity measured by applying an air jet on teeth and patient fills up a visual analogue scale. Ideal if = 0.	One year
