Filter by:The primary objective of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the mean root coverage achieved with Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) + Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) (control) to Gingival Pedicle Split Thickness flap (GPST) + CTG (test) for the treatment of isolated gingival recession defects in mandibular incisors. The secondary objectives are to compare the percentage of complete root coverage and keratinized tissue gain between the two techniques.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare whether soft tissue augmentation placed in the donor site following a gum graft harvesting leads to volumetric changes compared to non-augmented sites in the palate. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are there tissue thickness changes between the two groups (control group and augmentation group)? - Are there volumetric changes in the donor site (palate) between the two groups in the short and long term? Participants will receive a gum graft and then based on what group they were randomly assigned, they will receive either a collagen matrix where the gum graft was taken (on the palate) or nothing will be placed. Researchers will compare non-augmented sites with augmented sites to see if there is a change in tissue thickness and volume.
24 patients will be treated with a coronally positioned tunnel with AlloDerm RTM with or without the addition of Enamel Matrix Derivative to compare the baseline and 6-month changes in recession defect coverage, clinical attachment levels, amount of keratinized tissue width, and soft tissue thickness.
