Active clinical trials for "Gingival Recession"

The present placebo-controlled parallel design clinical study was planned to determine the effect of low level laser therapy on clinical periodontal conditions and dimensions of free gingival graft as well as postoperative pain levels in the surgical area.

Patients with high standards of oral hygiene frequently search for buccal gingival recession (GR) treatment due to cervical wear, root sensitivity and compromising aesthetics. The cervical lesion (NCCL) is commonly produced by improper toothbrushing techniques, sharing the same etiology of GR. Many different surgical approaches have been described. The association of a graft to the coronally advanced flap had demonstrated the best long-term outcome for root coverage. But, substitutes for the autogenous graft must be studied. Therefore, the aim of this clinical trial was to investigate the effectiveness of the acellular dermal matrix graft (ADMG) in root coverage associated with a previous restored cervical lesion or not. Material and methods: Seventeen individuals with bilateral GR were included in the study. At one side, the GR must present a previously restored cervical lesion, as the test group (TG). The contralateral arch, must present GR with an intact root surface (CG). All patients were treated with the extended flap technique associated with the ADMG. All clinical parameters were assessed at baseline and 6-months postoperative.

Aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of placental membrane with coronally advanced flap in covering single and multiple Miller's class I and II gingival recession defects.

This study evaluated the effect of topical hyaluronic acid (HA) application on free gingival graft (FGG) donor and recipient sites during the early wound healing period with laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and to investigate the effect of HA application on the dimensional change of the graft.Participants were randomly classified into the test group (TG) and control group (CG). HA was applied to both donor and recipient sites in 20 patients who formed the TG, whereas HA was not applied to the 20 patients who formed the CG.

The aim of this study will be to clinically assess the soft tissue augmentation achieved by the de-epithelialized free gingival graft with coronally advanced flap versus the subepithelial connective tissue graft with coronally advanced flap as root coverage procedures for management of patients with Miller class I and II gingival recession.

The aim of this randomized split-mouth design clinical trial is to clinically evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser in the healing of donor site of palate in free gingival graft.

This study compares the efficacy of root coverage achieved by the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) technique and the Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) technique in the treatment of Miller class I and II gingival recession defects. All patients will receive PST in one quadrant and CTG in another quadrant. The hypothesis being tested is: Pinhole Surgical Technique outcomes are not inferior to those of the Connective Tissue Graft surgical technique.

This randomised double blinded clinical trial has the aim to assess the effect of ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) on early wound healing following gingival recession coverage. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a critical intermediate of the mitochondrial electron transport chain for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate. The biological importance of CoQ10 is related to antioxidant activity, which can scavenge free radicals as well as restore the antioxidant defence system. Both in vitro and animal studies have suggested that CoQ10 acts as anti-inflammatory agent reducing the inflammatory response by inhibiting the translocation of nuclear factor kappa beta into the nucleus. Gingival recessions particularly in the esthetic area have become a common indication for treatment. The use of subepithelial palatal connective tissue graft (SCTG) in conjunction with either a coronally advanced flap (CAF) or a coronally advanced tunnel are well established techniques for both the treatment of single and multiple gingival recessions. Interestingly, despite the fact that CoQ10 is widely investigated, virtually no information exists on its effects upon early wound healing of oral tissues. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of CoQ10 on wound healing after gingival recession surgery.

Several surgical techniques and various adjunctive agents have been used to covered Gingival Recession (GR) and promote clinical outcomes. The treatment of the GR more used (gold standard) is the root coverage with surgical procedures and connective tissue graft, but it has limitations due to the conditions of the donor graft. Is necessary develop other biomaterials for these cases. The platelet rich fibrin is a autologous biomaterial that has gained tremendous momentum having been utilized for a variety of dental and medical procedures including periodontal surgeries. However, results remain contradictory and mainly focus on the hard and soft tissue healing, aesthetics and postoperative discomfort. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects of coronal advanced flap (CAF) and CAF + Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) on Root coverage (RC) over a period of 24 month.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate time effect on the clinical predictability of collagen matrix Xenograft (CMX) with melatonin gel versus connective tissue graft (CTG) and determine whether it is proposed to be an alternative in multiple adjacent gingival recession (MAGR) in recession type one (RT1)
