Filter by:Aim: The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the use of the porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) for the treatment of RT1 localized gingival recessions. Material and methods: Forthy patients (n=20) with RT1 localized gingival recessions with height ranging from 3 to 5 mm with and at least, 2mm of keratinized tissue width will be selected to participate in the study. Patients will be allocated randomly in two treatment groups: Coronally advanced flap (CAF) or coronally advanced flap associated with the porcine acellular dermal matrix (CAF+ PADM). The clinical parameters evaluated at the baseline, 6 and 12 months will be: Plaque index (IPL); gingival index (GI); relative gingival recession height (RGRH); gingival recession width (GRW); probing depth (PD); relative clinical attachment level (RCAL); keratinized tissue height (KTH); keratinized tissue thickness (KTT); papilla height (PH). Evaluations will be made by the professional and the patient regarding dentin hypersensitivity (HD) (Schiff and VAS scales respectively), aesthetics (RES and VAS scales, respectively) and patient's centered outcomes, through the questionnaire referring to the OHIP-14. Descriptive statistical analysis will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), median, quartiles, percentages and confidence intervals (95% CI). To analyze the normality of the residue, the Shapiro-Wilk test will be performed. Then, the Wilcoxon test will be applied to compare the periodontal parameters and a quality of life, before and post-treatment. Correlations between parameters and dental hypersensitivity will be analyzed through Spearman's test. Key words: Gingival recession, Root coverage, Biomaterial, Acellular dermal matrix.
Aim of this study is to assess the influence of vestibular depth on root coverage in Miller class III/ Cairo RT2 gingival recession when treated with minimally invasive technique using connective tissue graft.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of locally applied hyaluronic acid on free gingival graft wound bed healing and palatal donor site wound healing. Forty subjects will be randomly divided in two separate groups. Test group will be treated with hyaluronic acid during the procedure and the control group without. Periodontal parameters and other clinical measurements will be taken on baseline, 7 days postoperative, 14 days postoperative, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperative.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare whether soft tissue augmentation placed in the donor site following a gum graft harvesting leads to volumetric changes compared to non-augmented sites in the palate. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are there tissue thickness changes between the two groups (control group and augmentation group)? - Are there volumetric changes in the donor site (palate) between the two groups in the short and long term? Participants will receive a gum graft and then based on what group they were randomly assigned, they will receive either a collagen matrix where the gum graft was taken (on the palate) or nothing will be placed. Researchers will compare non-augmented sites with augmented sites to see if there is a change in tissue thickness and volume.
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between placing specific retraction cord for different periods of time and the post-operative gingival margin level in humans. Determining the amount of immediate reversible and delayed irreversible gingival recession (vertical gingival retraction) that might happen after placing a retraction cord around a natural tooth in healthy humans. It also aims to investigate the impact of mechanical and chemo-mechanical gingival retraction on periodontal health.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the root coverage rate of the gingival unit-shaped connective tissue graft, obtained by intraoral de-epithelization, with the traditional de-epithelialized free gingival graft in localized recessions of anterior and premolar teeth. In addition, it is aimed to compare the postoperative gingival thickness between the two techniques. The secondary aim is to search the effects of both techniques on periodontal parameters and to evaluate patient-centered outcomes.
The treatment of single gingival recessions comprises different well-established techniques, and the association between coronally advanced flap (CAF) and the subepithelial connective tissue graft is considered the gold standard. However, despite the excellent clinical results obtained, the use of subepithelial connective tissue graft is related to an increased risk of trans and postoperative bleeding, a longer duration of the surgical procedure and greater postoperative pain and morbidity. To overcome these limitations and increase patient acceptance, new biomaterials have been developed as possible alternatives to the use of connective tissue graft. Recently, tissue engineering has been investigating collagen matrices as carriers of biologically active substances. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the biofunctionalization of these matrices using injectable platelet rich-fibrin (i-PRF) can optimize the healing process of soft tissues using own's patient regenerative components. However, although it has promising potential, clinical studies evaluating the performance of functionalized collagen matrices are still scarce in the literature. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the clinical, esthetic, patient-centered, immuno and microbiological results of the use of the biofunctionalized volume stable collagen matrix (VCMX) for the treatment of single gingival recessions RT1. For such purpose, a randomized controlled clinical trial of superiority, parallel and blind will be carried out. Seventy-five patients with RT1 single gingival recession will be selected, who will be randomly allocated to one of the following groups: CAF+VCMX+i-PRF (n = 25), coronally advanced flap associated with VCMX functionalized with i-PRF; CAF+VCMX (n=25), coronally advanced flap associated with VCMX; and CAF group (n = 25), coronally advanced flap alone (CAF). The groups will be compared regarding clinical, esthetic and patient-centered outcomes at the baseline, three and six months after the surgical procedure. The microbiological evaluation will be performed at baseline, three and six months after surgery and the concentration of inflammatory markers and growth factors will be assessed before the procedure and 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days after treatment.
Gingival recessions (GR) are often associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL), resulting, thus, in a combined defect. This mucogingival condition has a different treatment prognosis when compared with a GR without wearing surface associated and frequently requires a surgical-restorative approach to achieve better esthetics and functional results. A limited number of clinical studies assessed different multidisciplinary protocols for the management of single combined defects and there is evidence that the use of dental materials does not harm the periodontal tissues and does not influence the root coverage obtained by means of subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG). Although the association between coronally advanced flap (CAF) and CTG provides more predictable and stable outcomes in the long term, its use is related to some drawbacks. Different biomaterials have been developed to overcome these limitations as a possible alternative to autogenous graft. However, despite its potential, there is a lack of studies evaluating its use in treating this type of condition. Thus, this study aims to assess from a clinical and esthetics point of view and patient-centered outcomes, the use of a new collagen matrix (Geistlich Fibro-Gide®) associated with CAF for the management of single combined defects. For such purpose, 50 patients with single RT1 gingival recessions associated with NCCL will be enrolled and randomly allocated to one of the following groups: control group (n=25), partial restoration of cervical lesion and coronally advanced flap for root coverage (PR+CAF) and test group (n=25), partial restoration of cervical lesion and coronally advanced flap associated with volume stable collagen matrix (PR+CAF+VCMX). The two groups will be compared regarding the clinical parameters, among which bleeding on probing (BOP), biofilm accumulation (IP), clinical attachment level (CAL), recession reduction (RecRed), and the percentage of combined defect coverage (%CDC). Patient-reported outcomes such as post-surgery pain and discomfort, time to recover, the decrease of dentin hypersensitive, and aesthetics will be gathered. A professional assessment will be carried out regarding the aesthetic parameters. All these evaluations will be performed at the baseline and three and six months postoperatively.
The goal of this clinical trial is to to describe and evaluate an approach, free mucogingival graft (FMG), in periodontal plastic surgery for root coverage (RC) in lower incisor gingival recessions (GR) with mucogingival conditions and deformities (MCD) that might negatively influence the outcomes of conventional RC procedures.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of retraction techniques on gingival health. Four different method (212 clamp (Hu-Friedy, USA); Brinker B4 clamp (Coltene Hygenic, USA); dental floss using the simple knot tie method; and using the simple knot tie and 212 clamp together) will evaluated. After rubber dam isolation restorations will be performed, each restoration will take maximum 30 minutes. Changes in periodontal tissues will be evaluate; using plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing depth, keratinized gingiva, attached gingiva, relative gingival margin level, relative attachment level and VAS (visual analogue scale) scoring and patient comfort levels after the procedure at different times (pre-restoration, after restoration, 1 week, 1 month, 3 month). The evaluation time is planned not to exceed 10 minutes, restorations are done by a single specialist in Marmara University Restorative Dentistry Department.
