A Novel Vertical Y-shaped Tunnel Approach Versus Modified Coronally

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Recent plastic procedures have provided satisfactory results in the treatment of gingival recession but there is, presently, a greater need for procedure that cause less surgical morbidity as also provide improved results. In this study we propose a novel vertical tunnel technique as a minimally invasive approach (Vertical Y-shaped Tunnel Approach) and evaluate clinical results in comparison to CAMT, both using CTG. The novel technique allows stability of the graft, maximum coronal vascularity and minimum soft tissue reflection.

Clinical Trial Description

The tunnel technique is an approach that optimizes esthetics and predictability because of its ability to avoid releasing critical papillae and maintaining a high level of vascularity at the surgical site to support the grafts. The tunnel technique has a minimally invasive nature since the interdental papillae are left intact and vertical incisions are not performed which results in better esthetics. This technique entailed the placement of a connective tissue graft in the tunnel. Complete graft coverage is not mandatory as long as the graft dimensions are sufficient to ensure its survival. Avoiding detachment of the highly fragile interdental soft tissue can minimize the risk of losing papilla height in critical esthetic areas, avoid scar formation, maximize the papillary and lateral blood supply to the underlying graft and better stabilize the graft for optimal wound healing Recent plastic procedures have provided satisfactory results in the treatment of gingival recession but there is, presently, a greater need for procedure that cause less surgical morbidity as also provide improved results. In this study we propose a novel vertical tunnel technique as a minimally invasive approach (Vertical Y-shaped Tunnel Approach) and evaluate clinical results in comparison to CAMT, both using CTG.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
