Non-Pedicled Buccal Fat Pad Graft in the Treatment of Gingival Recessions
Gingival RecessionBackground: 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).
A Novel Volumetric Analysis Using CAD/CAM Scanners in Gingival Recession Treatment
Gingival RecessionAim: 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.
Xenogenous Collagen Matrix Graft With or Without Enamel Matrix Proteins Derivative for Root Coverage...
Gingival RecessionThe 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.
Diode Laser for Harvesting Gingival Graft
Gingival RecessionAims: 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.

Er,Cr:YSGG Laser For Recipient Bed Bio-modification And Connective Tissue Harvesting in Treatment...
Gingival RecessionLocalizedA clinical and radiographic evaluation of using Erbium, Chromium, Scandium, Gallium and Garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser in recipient site bio-modification and de-epithelialized connective tissue graft harvesting compared to conventional scalpel surgical technique in the treatment of class I and II Miller gingival recession.
Study of Root Coverage With Acellular Dermal Matrix: Puros® Dermis Versus Alloderm®
Gingival RecessionThe 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.
Microsurgical vs Macro Surgical Approach for Grade II Gingival Recessions Employing Laterally Repositioned...
Gingival RecessionLocalizedThis 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
Xenogenic Collagen Matrix and Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft in the Treatment of Gingival...
Gingival Recession Localized Moderatethis study is a Clinical evaluation of using Xenogenic collagen matrix (XCM) plus coronally advanced flap (CAF) compared to subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) plus coronally advanced flap to treat Miller class I gingival recession. A split-full-split thickness flap will be elevated in the (XCM+CAF) group while it will be an only partial thickness flap in the (SCTG+CAF) group. The sample size will be 15 patients. Each patient has bilateral Miller Class I gingival recessions; and as a split-mouth study design one side will be treated with (SCTG+CAF), while the other will be treated with (XCM+CAF).
