Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to compare the de-epithelized gingival graft (control group) and modified combined approach for connective tissue graft (test group) in patients undergoing palatal graft harvesting for mucogingival surgery in the oral cavity


Clinical Trial Description

Harvesting a palatal mucosal tissue graft as an autologous donor for oral soft tissue augmentation is widely practiced. Tissue harvest in patients with anatomically thin phenotypes can cause significant morbidity and compromised healing process. The modified combined approach (MCA) for connective tissue grafts has the potential for faster healing and fewer postoperative complications, compared to the recommended harvesting technique of de-epithelized gingival graft (DGG). However, the modified combined approach for connective tissue grafts have yet to be extensively investigated. This examiner-masked, randomized study aims to compare post-operative morbidity and treatment outcomes in patients undergoing modified combined approach for connective tissue graft (test group) compared to the de-epithelized gingival graft (control group) harvesting techniques in tissue augmentation. Participants will be randomized into two groups receiving one of either modified combined approach for connective tissue graft or de-epithelized gingival graft. Collection of the study parameters will utilize both examiner-assessed, and patient reported outcomes. The study will report on the optimum palatal mucosal graft harvesting technique in an Asian population. The findings of this study will be utilized to formulate clinical recommendations for soft tissues augmentation in this population. ;
