View clinical trials related to Gingival Recession.
Filter by:This study evaluates the 4 different techniques used in clinical measurement of gingival phenotype. 1) Tranclusency of UNC-15 Periodontal Probe, 2) Transgingival probing with Endodontic file (#20), 3)Transgingival Probing with Modified Florida Probe and 4) Translucency Colorvue Biotype Probe. The aim of our study is to evaluate the reliability and applicability of the current examination methods recommended in order to improve the deficiencies of the traditional examination methods used in the evaluation of the gingival phenotype.
The purpose of this retrospective study is to investigate whether suturing protocols (suture removal timing) influence root coverage outcomes in recession defects treated with a coronally advanced flap (CAF) procedure.
This study aims to assess the effect of micro-needling together with coronally advanced flap procedure on the gain of gingival thickness (GT) and keratinized tissue width (KTW) and compare it to Alloderm with coronally advanced flap procedure in the management of thin periodontal phenotype associated with recession type 1 (RT1)
Background: The aim of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) was to evaluate the adjunctive benefit of Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) to Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) for the treatment of gingival recession associated with inter-dental clinical attachment loss equal or smaller to the buccal attachment loss (RT2). Material and Methods:The patients were randomly assigned to CAF+CTG (test group) or to CAF alone (Control group). Measurements were performed by a blind and calibrated examiner. Outcome measures included complete root coverage (CRC), recession reduction (RecRed), Root coverage Esthetic Score (RES), intra-operative and post-operative morbidity, and root sensitivity.
One-hundred and one healthy participants (221 gingival recessions-GRs) were treated from 1987 to 1996. The probing depth (PD), keratinized tissue width (KTW), gingival recession depth (RD), gingival recession width (RW), gingival recession area (RA) were evaluated and considered at baseline and along time. The obtained data will be evaluated and compared.
Connective tissue graft operation is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures to increase the width of the attached gingiva and to treat gingival recessions. The most preferred donor site during this operation is the palatal mucosa.Reported postoperative complications are usually related to the donor site. Problems such as prolongation of bleeding time, delay in wound healing and severe pain in the palatal region where the graft is taken are frequently encountered. Bleeding control in the palatal donor area is very important for patient comfort. Additional measures may be required to control bleeding, such as sutures with or without hemostatic agents, or acrylic, plastic palatal stents and periodontal pastes prepared before the operation. Suturing the Greater Palatine Artery (GPA) or terminal vessel branches has been shown to be an effective method to control palatal bleeding. Therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the pre-suture method applied in the palatal region before the connective tissue graft is taken in reducing hemostasis.Pre-suture method can increase the operator's field of vision and operational comfort. Patient-reported outcomes such as the amount of pain and bleeding in the palatal donor area during and after surgery, painkiller intake, number of days of discomfort, satisfaction, quality of life, and willingness to be treated will be evaluated. In addition, it will be evaluated whether this suture technique affects the healing of the half-thickness flap in the palatal region after obtaining a connective tissue graft with a single incision method.
This study is proposing the use of i-PRF clot as a scaffold for the XCM in order to obtain a novel biomaterial, incorporating active growth factors and collagen matrix in a single framework, based on the potential effect of i-PRF to enhance fibroblast activity and angiogenesis stimulation for treatment of multiple gingival recession.
Randomized, single-center trial with 2 parallel arms and a 1:1 allocation ratio, with the aim of comparing clinical and microvascular healing and patients related outcomes, which follow the harvest of a free gingival graft, where hemostasis has been achieved with either compressive sutures and homeostatic sponges (control) or with a simplified suture-less approach (test).
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate whether the effect of HA in combination with XCM for the treatment of MAGRs with a multiple coronally advanced flap technique (mCAF) achieves better results than the XCM with mCAF alone in terms of recession reduction (primary outcome) and other secondary root coverage outcomes (e.g. complete root coverage, mean root coverage). Moreover, this study aims to compare secondary clinical variables (e.g. keratinized tissue width (KTW) changes, probing pocket depth (PPD) changes, volumetric gain (VG), etc.), also with a digital approach, the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs e.g. pain, swelling, bleeding) and lastly the expression of molecular mediators of tissue healing/regeneration. The hypothesis of this study is that at 6 months and 1 year follow-up the mCAF with XCM+HA is superior to the mCAF with only XCM in terms of recessions reduction and secondary clinical variables, including PROMs.
