Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the effect of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) on the outcome of root coverage therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: In gingival recessions associated with NCCLs, characterized by an undetectable cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), reconstruction of the CEJ with a cervical composite restoration, prior to root coverage surgery by means of a coronally advanced flap combined with a connective tissue graft (CAF+CTG), provides similar clinical and patient-reported outcomes, as compared to the treatment of gingival recessions associated with NCCLs, characterized by a visible CEJ, with root coverage surgery only, by means of a CAF+CTG. In NCCLs where the CEJ is undetectable (B-type defect), the CEJ will be reconstructed before surgery with a cervical composite restoration mimicking the anatomic features of the contralateral, homologous tooth. CAF+CTG treatment will be performed in all cases. Participants will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months to evaluate clinical, volumetric, and patient-centred outcomes.


Clinical Trial Description

In this investigation, a prospective cohort study, several key outcomes will be assessed. First, we seek to determine whether restoring the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) in Class B GRs before root coverage therapy yields comparable clinical and volumetric outcomes to Class A GRs with detectable CEJ. In addition, the influence of the CEJ restoration on dentin sensitivity and aesthetic satisfaction of the patient will be investigated. To our knowledge, it will be the first clinical study to use Pini Prato et al.'s surface discrepancy classification as a decision-making tool to guide periodontal-restorative procedures. ;
