Filter by:The present CONSORT-based randomized clinical trial is to assess the adjunctive benefit of a xenogenic collagen matrix in combination with a coronal advanced flap with respect to a coronal advanced flap alone in the treatment of multiple gingival recession defects in adult population.
This study aims to assess the effect of tunneling technique with subepithelial connective tissue graft versus tunneling technique with laterally closed tunnel in treatment of recession type 2 defect.Few randomized clinical trial has been involved with recession type 2 defects treated with tunneling technique and coronal advanced flap.
This clinical study consists on taking 2 different records of the upper and lower incisors area : 1) a perpendicular x-ray and 2) an ultrasonic measurement of gingival thickness on the labial plate. Both measurements are used in order to measure gingival and bone thickness. The aim was to verify the reliability of the tissue measurements of an ultrasonic technique compared with the radiographic technique and to verify whether the biotype has correlation between the maxillary and mandibular biotype in the same patient.
Gingival thickness plays a key role not only in the etiology but also in the treatment of gingival recessions. a thin marginal tissue lining the hard periodontal tissues seems to be one of the main risk factor for the onset of gingival recession ; more recently, authors reported that as the gingival thickness decreases, the gingival recession severity increases . When gingival inflammation occurs, if the tissue is thin the consequent destruction can quickly produce a gingival recession (GR) . When treating a gingival recession, the clinician should aim not only to completely cover the exposed root surface but also to prevent a future recession recurrence Currently, CAF associated with graft is considered as the gold standard for exposed root coverage; this technique has demonstrated high rates in gingival recession reduction and positive predictability in obtaining complete root coverage . However, some disadvantages about this surgical approach can be easily highlighted: patients experience more discomfort, longer chair-time it's necessary and a second wound area is created . On the other hand, CAF procedure alone does not require a second surgical site, with better post-operative course, also reducing the surgical time. However, long term-studies report lower probability of complete root coverage when using the CAF technique without a simultaneous increase of the gingival thickness as compared to CAF+graft treatment. In this scenario, The Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) could be a valuable alternative treatment of gingival defects. It's a platelet concentrate, obtained by a fast and simple procedure that does not require anticoagulant and bovine thrombin . It can also be categorized as a live tissue thanks to platelets, leukocytes, growth factors and stem cells trapped in a polymerized fibrin mesh. PRF is used in various fields of regenerative medicine; It promotes stabilization and revascularization of the flaps, contributes to soft tissue wound healing and reduces post-operative discomfort. The purpose of this clinical study will be to determine if the combination of platelet rich fibrine membrane with a modified coronally advanced flap (MCAF) improved the gingival biotype compared to CAF + graft or CAF alone.
This study evaluates postoperative morbidity of patients that undergo free gingival graft harvesting from palate with or without use of autogenous PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) membranes to cover the donor site.In the Test Group venous blood sampling was done in order to prepare PRF membranes used to cover the donor site, whereas in Control Group hemostatic agents with oxidized and regenerated cellulosa were used.
The present study is a human, prospective, single centre, single blind, comparative controlled randomized clinical trial for the treatment of Miller's Class I, II or combination of class I and II mandibular recession and comparing the clinical outcomes prior to and 6 months after treatment. The trial is in accordance to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) criteria, 2010.
The aim of this study is to evaluate clinically the results of two types of matrix (Geistlich Mucograft® and Mucoderm®) associated with CAF technique for the treatment of gingival recessions.
The overall purpose of this study is to establish an ultrasound technique to aid in oral and dental examination of soft and hard tissues. Ultrasound is currently not used in Dentistry and associated oral examinations and its usefulness for clinical practice will be explored. This study will investigate the use of ultrasonic imaging for planning and placing dental implants, as well as evaluate the use of ultrasonic imaging for monitoring marginal bone loss around dental implants.
This study was conducted to assess the evaluation of micro and Macro surgical approach in the treatment of grade II gingival recessions using the laterally repositioned flap
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of mesial and distal adjacent gingival biotypes of the tooth / teeth region of free gingival graft (FGG) on the shrinkage ratio of graft at 6 months postoperatively.
