Filter by:Aim: to evaluate the possible benefit on wound healing and flap stability of periosteum inclusion, comparing a "split-full-split" thickness flap elevation versus a "split" thickness approach performed during CAF for the treatment of isolated-type gingival recessions in the upper jaw. Material and Methods: forty patients were randomized, 20 were treated with "split-full-split" (test group) and 20 with a "split" approach (control group). Analyzed parameters at 1 year were: CRC, percentage of Recession Coverage (RC), Keratinized tissue (KT) gain, patient-related outcome measurements.
34 patients with Miller class III will be included in this study, where 17 participants will be treated with connective tissue graft with coronally advanced flap (control group) and 17 participants will be treated with a papillary extended connective tissue graft with coronally advanced flap (test group) and followed up for 6 months.
To study and compare a thick vs thin acellular dermal matrix for root coverage using the coronally positioned tunnel technique.
A clinical evaluation of using the semilunar coronally position flap (SCPF) compared to the conventional coronally advanced flap (CAF) with modification to treat class I Miller gingival recession. The coronally repositioned gingival margin will be stabilized by coronally anchored suture with composite stops on the buccal surface of the tooth using flowable composite. The sample size will be ten patients. Each patient has bilateral Miller Class I gingival recessions; one will be treated with SCPF, while the other will be treated with CAF
Background and Objective: Gingival recession accounts for apical migration of the gingival margin resulting in exposure of the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and root surface. It is a matter of concern for both patients and dental professionals, especially when exposure of the root surface is linked to deterioration in esthetic appearance and increase in dentinal hypersensitivity which leads to improvements in various surgical techniques that have been used to correct labial gingival recession defects. The present study thus was aimed to evaluate and compare the results of Semilunar Coronally Positioned Flap alone and Semilunar Coronally Positioned Flap in Conjunction with Free Gingival Graft for treatment of Miller Class I and II gingival recession defects in maxillary anterior teeth. Materials and Method: A total of 20 bilateral Miller's class I and II gingival recession sites in systemically healthy subjects, 20-45 years of age were recruited for this study. Recession sites were divided and randomly allocated to either of the two groups SCPF+FGG (test group) and SCPF (control group) with 10 sites per group to be treated with semilunar coronally positioned flap with free gingival graft technique for SCPF+FGG group and semilunar coronally positioned flap technique alone for SCPF group. Longitudinal alterations during a follow-up period of 1, 3, 6 and 12 months in terms of Probing depth (PD), Recession width (RW), Recession height (RH), Width of keratinized tissue (WKT) and Clinical attachment level (CAL) were measured for both the groups and the values were statistically analysed.
Gingival fissures (GF) have been suggested as risk indicators for clinical attachment loss (CAL) and gingival recession, especially in free surfaces and in patients with low plaque scores. The major factors related to the GF occurrence are high daily brushing frequencies, excessive force to brush, malpositioned teeth, use of abrasive dentifrices, and stiffness of the toothbrushes bristles. Thus, in order to better understand the pathogenesis and progression of GF, this study aim to evaluate the incidence and behavior of GF in young adults using soft and medium brushes, in a cross-over randomized clinical trial along 6 months.
Microsurgical tunneling flap procedures using connective tissue grafts (CTG) are predictable for treating teeth with gingival recessions. Enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) can be used as an alternative to the aforementioned gold standard. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinically the use of tunnel technique with EMD applied group in addition to CTG and the same technique with CTG group for the treatment of multiple gingival recessions.
The purpose of this multi-center study is to compare the effectiveness of Mucograft versus connective tissue graft in combination with coronal advanced flap for the treatment of Miller class III recessions The connective tissue graft in combination with coronal advanced flap is considered the gold standard for the treatment of gingival recession in terms of percentage of root coverage and complete root coverage. However connective tissue graft harvesting from the palatal mucosa is often associated with increased patient morbidity, prolonged surgical time and is limited supply. To overcome these inconvenients many efforts are made to develop new materials (healing modifiers, barrier membranes and grafts substitutes) Recently a new two-layer , xenogenic collagen matrix (Mucograft: Geistlich Pharma , Wolhusen Switzerland) has been proposed for regenerative therapy involving teeth and implants. The use of this porcine collagen matrix has obtained promising results for treatment of Miller class I and II recession defects (isolated and multiple recession defects) The mayority of root coverage studies in the literature treats Miller class I and II recession defects .Surgical treatment of class III recesión defects is more challenging due to loss of interproximal bone and soft tissues and complete root coverage may not be expected . But some recent studies demonstrate complete root coverage and high percentage of root coverage in class III recessions. Also a new classification system using the level of interproximal attachment level has been proposed to predict the final root coverage outcome. So ,the soft tissue substitutes should be used also in Miller class III recession, and because of that fact, the investigators are conducting this study, to evaluate the effectiveness of Mucograft in Miller class III recessions compared with connective tissue graft.
The aim of the present study is to compare the use of the xenogeneic graft (MC) plus coronary advanced flap (CAF) and the coronary advanced flap alone, both associated with the partial restoration of composite resin in the treatment of gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesion.
Patients with multiple recession defects will be randomly oriented into to groups. The test group will recieve a relatively new technique, the VISTA technique, combined with connective tissue graft that will be harvested from the palate. The control group will recieve coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft. subjects will be followed up for 6 months after the surgery. Any complications, that may occur, will be dealt with.
