Active clinical trials for "Gingival Recession"

Aim: In this ramdomised clinical trial (RCT), the aim was to compare clinical periodontal data of subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) group and SCGT+enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) group in terms of gained gingiva volume (GGV) and gained gingiva surface area (GGSA) by scanners of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) devices. Materials and Methods: A total of 35 Miller class I-II gingival recession defects were involved in this study (n=17 in SCTG group, n=18 in SCTG+EMD group). In addition to periodontal clinical parameters, three dimensional (3D) images were recorded using CAD/CAM system before the treatment, at the 1st month and at the 6th months after the treatment. The images were superimposed using softwares and GGV, GGSA were calculated.

Background: This randomized controlled clinical study of split-mouth aimed to compare non-pedicled buccal fat pad graft (BFPG) with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in the treatment of Miller Class I or II gingival recessions. Methods: Twelve patients with Miller Class I or II (≥ 2 mm) bilateral recessions in maxillary premolars or canines were selected. The recessions were randomly assigned to receive SCTG (Control Group) or BFPG (Test Group). The clinical parameters of Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), Probing Depth (PD), Gingival Recession (GR), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Width of Keratinized Tissue (WKT), Thickness of Keratinized Tissue (TKT) and Gingival Margin to the Acrylic Guide (GM-AG) were evaluated at baseline, and in the postoperative periods of 1, 3, and 6 months. The percentage of root coverage was also evaluated. Data were submitted to repeated measures ANOVA, Bonferroni method and t-test (p<0.05).

Aims: The aim of present randomized controlled clinical study was to evaluate whether the additional use of diode laser would facilitate the donor surgery, improve the palatal wound healing and reduce post-operative morbidity after the coronally advanced flap (CAF) with connective tissue (CTG) grafts. Methods: Fifty-two patients with isolated recessions were treated. The CTG resulted from the de-epithelialization of a free gingival graft (FGG) with blade (control group) or diode laser (DL) (test group). The DL was used to de-epithelialize the outer part of the FGG and photo-biostimulate the palatal wound area. Post-operative morbidity was evaluated by using Oral health related Quality of life (QoL), smile related QoL and visual analogue scale-discomfort (VAS). Root coverage outcomes were also evaluated 6 months after operation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reduction of gingival recession of single Miller Class I and II defects treated by coronally advanced flap with subepithelial porcine collagen matrix graft and / or enamel matrix proteins.

To study and compare a thick vs thin acellular dermal matrix for root coverage using the coronally positioned tunnel technique.

Gingival recessions are often successfully treated by coronally advanced flap technique (CAF) associated with subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG). Currently the xenogeneic collagen matrix (CM) has been used as a substitute for SCTG associated with CAF technique for root coverage. CAF technique was not developed for use with CM and has shown limited results when applied to the CM. The aim of this study was to compare and show the benefits of the extended flap technique (EFT) compared to CAF technique using CM for root coverage.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether clinical parameters for Puros Dermis are, at minimum, equivalent when compared to AlloDerm, the current industry standard, for the treatment of single, non-adjacent Miller's Class I or II gingival recession.

This study was conducted to assess the evaluation of micro and Macro surgical approach in the treatment of grade II gingival recessions using the laterally repositioned flap

The aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate the advantages of LCT with SCTG over MCAT with SCTG for coverage of deep isolated mandibular anterior recession.

The aim of the present study is to compare the use of the xenogeneic graft (MC) plus coronary advanced flap (CAF) and the coronary advanced flap alone, both associated with the partial restoration of composite resin in the treatment of gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesion.
