Filter by:The study team proposes to prospectively compare the healing outcomes of autogenous soft tissue connective tissue graft (CTG) and Acellular dermis matrix (ADM) in a split-mouth design study for patients requiring modification of gingival soft tissue biotype. The researchers aim to investigate the earlier phase of graft healing after the grafting surgery by biopsy histology and by examining the alteration of gene profile during the healing of gingival tissue healing by molecular cell biological techniques.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Autologous Fibrin Glue (AFG) are fibrin preparation derived from human blood samples and are used in regenerative dentistry. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of root coverage using PRF (+) AFG with a coronally advanced flap (CAF) or PRF only with a CAF compared to a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) with a CAF for treating Class 1 and 2 gingival recession defects. Additionally, to evaluate the level of keratinized tissue tissue thickness and width using PRF (+) AFG with a CAF or PRF only with a CAF compared to CTG with CAF for Class 1 and 2 gingival recession defects. Method: 48 patients with recession defects will be randomly divided into three different treatment groups. Treatment Group A (n=16) will consist of patients treated with PRF (+) AFG with a CAF, Group B (n=16) will consist of patients treated with PRF only with a CAF and Group C (n=16) will consits of patients treated with CTG with CAF as a control. Clinical measurements will be assessed at baseline and at 1 month and 6 months after the surgery. The clinical measurements that will be recorded, include probing depth, clinical attachment level, and gingval recession parameters. The gingival recession parameters include recession width, depth and thickness.
