Healing Dynamics of Free Gingival Grafts; a Colorimetric and Volumetric Assessment

Free Gingival Graft Clinical Trial

Official title: Healing Dynamics of Free Gingival Grafts; a Colorimetric and Volumetric Assessment

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Gingival recession on vestibular surfaces of teeth is a frequent occurrence in patients with high standards of oral hygiene, affecting all types of teeth. During the last three decades, several surgical techniques have been proposed to treat single and multiple gingival recessions: pedicled flaps (laterally displaced (CDL) or coronally advanced (ACC) flaps), free gingival grafts (IGL), bilaminar techniques or procedures regenerative.

Clinical Trial Description

One month before surgery, an interview and periodontal therapy (pre-surgical prophylaxis, oral hygiene instructions and brushing technique teaching) will be carried out. A digital scan of the arch with the teeth to be treated will be made before the surgery, during the surgery (recipient bed and with sutures), at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. On the day of surgery, the recipient bed will be prepared and a free gingival graft will be taken from the palate to cover the exposed root surface or gain keratinized gingiva. In terms of aesthetics, morbidity and satisfaction will be evaluated through questions. At 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1year, the color of the gum will be evaluated using a spectrophotometer. ;
