Filter by:Periodontal plastic surgery has been performed successfully for a long time in the treatment of gingival recessions and mucogingival defects. Epithelial and connective tissue grafts are considered the "gold standard" treatment for gingival recession due to their biocompatibility and long-term stability, however they require tissue harvesting from a donor area, usually the palate, increasing patient discomfort. Various hemostatic and healing agents have been used in conjunction with suturing to speed healing and reduce complications associated with this procedure, such as bleeding and pain. These include absorbable synthetic collagen, absorbable gelatin sponges, oxidized regenerated cellulose, ferric subsulfate, and more recently, cyanoacrylate cements and platelet-rich fibrin. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are synthesized as monomers by condensation of a cyanoacetate with formaldehyde in the presence of catalysts and the adhesive film is developed by rapid polymerization caused by hydroxide groups to the surfaces to be adhered. The properties of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives of greatest interest in the surgical field are excellent hemostasis, rapid tissue adhesion, and possible bacteriostatic qualities.
Despite the good clinical results and advantages of using autogenous grafts, such as subepithelial connective grafts and free gingival grafts, the removal of grafts from the palate can result in greater postoperative morbidity. The objective of the present study will be to perform a clinical evaluation of the effect of ozonated oil on the healing of palatal wounds, after the removal of free gingival grafts, to be used in the post-extraction sockets, with the purpose of preserving the alveolar ridge. This is a prospective longitudinal clinical trial, being a patient-centered, double-blind, randomized by lottery, placebo- controlled study. The groups will be divided as follows: 1) EGL Group (control): after the removal of the EGL, the palatal wound will be treated with non-ozonized sunflower oil (placebo), applied once a day, for seven days. days; 2) EGL + Oz Group (test): after removal of the EGL, the palatal wound will be treated with ozonated sunflower oil with a peroxide index between 510 - 625 meq/kg (Oleozon®, São Paulo, Brazil), applied once a day, for seven days. The clinical evaluation and the healing process will be evaluated through the remaining scar area (RSA), Epithelialization (E) and Tissue Edema (TE). Assessments will be performed at baseline (after EGL removal) and at 3, 7, and 14 days. Measurement of levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-Hydroxinonenal (4-HNE) for oxidative stress will be performed at days 3 and 7. Quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-14) and pain scale (VAS) will be applied. The data will initially be tested for normality by the Shapiro-Wilk test. If the data are parametric, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) can be applied, but if they are non-parametric, the Kruskal-Wallis test can be applied, followed by Dunns, for comparison between groups. The significance level will be set at 5%.
