Active clinical trials for "Gingival Recession"

42 patients were treated either with E-CTG (N=20) or SCAF (N=22). The recordings included clinician-based (recession depth, recession width, probing depth, clinical attachment level, keratinized tissue width, tissue thickness, clinical attachment gain (CAG), root coverage (RC), keratinized tissue change (KTC)) and patient-based (wound healing index (WHI), dentine hypersensitivity (DH), tissue appearance, patient expectations and aesthetics) parameters that were taken at baseline, T1 (sixth week), T2 (sixth month) and T3 (first year).

The study will consist of a randomized controlled clinical study trial comparing the results of coronally positioned flap with AlloDerm GBR plus bovine derived xenograft versus coronally positioned tunnel with AlloDerm GBR plus bovine derived xenograft in approximately 30 patients (15 per group). All materials used in the study are FDA approved.

Aim: to evaluate the possible benefit on wound healing and flap stability of periosteum inclusion, comparing a "split-full-split" thickness flap elevation versus a "split" thickness approach performed during CAF for the treatment of isolated-type gingival recessions in the upper jaw. Material and Methods: forty patients were randomized, 20 were treated with "split-full-split" (test group) and 20 with a "split" approach (control group). Analyzed parameters at 1 year were: CRC, percentage of Recession Coverage (RC), Keratinized tissue (KT) gain, patient-related outcome measurements.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether the combined connective tissue graft (CTG) with injectable platelet rich fibrin (i-prf) with coronally advanced flap (CAF) improved root coverage of deep Miller Class I or II gingival recessions compared to CTG alone with CAF. Methods: Seventy-two patients with Miller class I and II gingival recessions were enrolled. Thirty-six patients were randomly assigned to the test group (CAF+CTG+i-prf) or control group (CAF+CTG). Clinical evaluations were made at 6 months

This split-mouth randomized clinical trial compared two different types of subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG) considering clinical parameters and patient-centered outcomes in patients with bilateral RT 1 multiple gingival recessions after 6 months postoperatively. 21 patients with 84 sites were surgically treated with coronally advanced flap (CAF) associated with SCTG harvested by: double blade scalpel (DBS) and de-epithelized (DE) SCTG. Periodontal clinical parameters and aesthetics were evaluated by a calibrated periodontist at baseline and after 6 months. Patient-centered outcomes related to pain/discomfort and aesthetics were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after 7 days and 6 months, respectively. Gingival blood flows were analyzed by Laser Doppler flowmetry (FLD) at baseline and 2, 7 and 14 days postoperatively.

Introduction: Gingival recession is a lesion characterized by the loss of attachment of root surface of the tooth, resulting in an apical migration of the gingival margin that occasionally generates aesthetic problems, hypersensitivity and difficulty in maintaining proper hygiene. Several anatomical factors have been associated both with the incidence and progression of gingival recession and with the prognosis of the surgical treatments proposed for its correction. These factors include the absence of keratinized tissue, the gingival phenotype, root prominence and shallow vesrtibular depth. Objectives: The objective of the study is to evaluate, through a series of prospective cases, the influence of each of the anatomical factors on the success of root coverage. Methods: 20 patients with gingival recession defects will be treated with CAF+CTG using various autogenous gingival graft. Three-dimensional analysis of superimposed preoperative and postoperative images will be performed. Linear and surface root coverage will be calculated and correlated to various anatomical parameters such as vestibular depth and root prominence. A multilevel statistical analysis will be conducted, adjusting for the correlation among multiple observations.

The aim of this study is to test a surgical technique for the treatment of gingival recessions. The hypothesis of the study is to promote greater root coverage and better healing.

Evaluation of two dressing materials; a Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) dressing and a non-eugenol-based (Coe-Pak™) dressing in the management of free gingival graft and donor site palatal wound.

Twenty patients with gingival recession will be enrolled in this trial. Gingival recession will be treated in one side by applying Mucograft® with coronally advanced flap (CAF) while on the opposite side a connective tissue graft (from the palate) will be applied with a CAF. Patients will be followed for 3 and 6 months by measuring the clinical indexes and statistical analyses will be performed to compare the results and to assess the success of Mucograft®.

Over the years, numerous surgical techniques such as free autografts and pedicle grafts have been introduced to correct gingival recession defects. Combination grafts with either autografts or allografts, and newer concepts of guided tissue regeneration (GTR), platelet concentrates, etc., were developed more recently to correct mucogingival defects. The use of PRF in various surgical procedures such as degree II furcations, intrabony defects, sinus floor segmentation during implant placement and on facial plastic surgeries have shown promising results. However to our knowledge, till this study was completed, no studies have been reported with the clinical outcomes of autologous platelet rich fibrin membrane for the treatment of localized gingival recession defects. Hence, this study was designed to compare coronally advanced flap with platelet rich fibrin membrane versus subepithelial connective tissue graft in treatment of Miller's Class I and Class II gingival recession defects.
