NCT ID: NCT06392256 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Peri-implant Mucositis

Effect of Free Gingival Grafting on Peri-implant Health

Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized-controlled clinical study is to investigate the impact of soft tissue phenotype modification following free gingival grafting (FGG) in addition to the non-surgical mechanical therapy of peri-implant mucositis (PM) with keratinized mucosa width (KMW) < 2 mm over a 6-month follow-up period. Therefore, the following questions related to the study are raised: - Does soft tissue modification following free gingival grafting around the implants, in addition to non-surgical mechanical therapy of PM, affect the complete disease resolution? - Does the presence of KMW < 2 mm around the implants exhibit similar outcomes compared to the sites with sufficient KMW (i.e., ≥ 2 mm) for professional mechanical plaque removal? Patients who apply to the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Gazi University, are systemically healthy, have implant-supported fixed restorations installed at least one year prior to their enrollment, and are diagnosed with PM on these implants will be selected for the study. Patients with KMW < 2 mm at the respective implant sites will be treated with non-surgical mechanical treatment combined with soft tissue augmentation with FGG or non-surgical mechanical treatment alone. As a positive control group, those who apply to the same department, have implants in function as noted during routine annual maintenance appointments, and are diagnosed as healthy will be selected.
