Filter by:Teenage children and adults often undergo orthodontic treatment each year to improve their dental esthetics and chewing function. One common problem they present with is having a small maxilla compared to the mandible. The standard of treatment to correct this issue is to expand the maxilla using either a tooth-anchored expander, a bone-anchored expander, or braces. Unfortunately, these treatment options can sometimes result in a loss of gum tissue and supporting structures of the teeth. Certain patients, especially ones that have thin gum tissue, are at a higher risk of this gum tissue loss. Orthodontic treatment for these patients will expand their jaw, causing further pressure on already thin gums. An increasingly common treatment to prevent this is to proactively modify patient's thin tissue surgically prior to their orthodontic treatment so they can withstand the tooth movement. The gold standard of doing this surgical intervention consists of harvesting a connective tissue from the palate which is not well tolerated by the younger population. Our study will evaluate the use of a biomaterial substitute instead of harvesting the patient's own tissue to thicken the gingival tissues. Surgical healing, patient satisfaction, pain index, as well as tissue contour post orthodontic treatment will be assessed thoroughly. This study will help us understand: 1) if biomaterials can be a substitute for traditional autogenous gum grafts to help thicken the patient's gum tissue prior to orthodontic treatment, and 2) if they are able to withstand the pressure of orthodontic movement. This will be the first long-term study of this kind.
Randomized, outcome assessor and data analyst blinded, single center trial with four parallel arms and a 1:1:1:1 allocation ratio, with the aim of comparing which combination of bilaminar technique (split vs. full thickness flap) and graft type (autogenous or xenogeneic) provides better clinical, aesthetic, morphological, vascular and patients related outcomes, when augmenting the buccal peri-implant mucosa at the reopening of submerged implant fixtures
Evaluation of microneedling vs injectable -platelet rich fibrin on gingival phenotype in thin periodontal phenotype.
This study is to compare the two techniques to achieve change in the tissue quality at areas of lack of Keratinized Tissue (KT) using soft tissue grafting with autogenous graft material (Free Gingival Graft)(FGG) vs Strip gingival graft with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) (SGG+ADM).
To evaluate a cross-shaped incision technique to thick-gingiva and thin-gingiva patients treated with implant-supported fixed prosthesis.
The present study aimed to increase the thickness of the gingiva and prevent possible crestal bone resorption by placing the CTG or T-PRF membrane under the mucosa immediately after the implant treatment in individuals with thin gingival phenotype. The null hypothesis was that T-PRF used simultaneously with implant placement can be considered an alternative to CTG.
