Treatment of NCCL Asociated With Gingival Recession With B.O.P.T. Technique
- Conditions
- Abfraction
- Interventions
- Procedure: Treatment of the abfraction with BOPT technique
- Registration Number
- NCT05861193
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Valencia
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the gingival margin changes resulting from the treatment with biologically oriented preparation technique (B.O.P.T.) of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). In particular, the quantification of the cervical margin is carried out by an intraoral scanning device, both in length and width.

Group Intervention Description Cases Treatment of the abfraction with BOPT technique Patients belonging to the intervention group presented abfraction lesions in upper and/or lower premolars. These abfraction lesions consist of a loss of dental hard tissue at the cervical level of more than 1 mm, and are associated with type 1 gingival recession of the Cairo classification.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method On the tooth to be treated: Measurement of the volume of gingiva at the level of the gingival margin (before/after treatment). The initial scan is performed prior to treatment, lasting approximately 5 minutes (maximum). The final scan is performed three month after treatment, once the gingival tissues have healed. The volume of the gingival tissue at the level of the margin, is measured through an initial intraoral scan, at 3 fixed points (the same points measured in the gingival recession, see outcome 1), from the outermost part of the gingiva to the outermost portion of the tooth root, seen in an occlusal view.
A software allows to overlay the initial scan with the post treatment scan; thus, the volumetric changes obtained thanks to the treatment in the gingival margin are objectively measured.On the tooth to be treated: Measurement of gingival recession associated to abfraction (before/after treatment). The initial scan is performed prior to treatment, lasting approximately 5 minutes (maximum). The final scan is performed three month after treatment, once the gingival tissues have healed. The gingival recession associated with the abfraction lesion is digitally measured (in mm) through intraoral scanning of the same. Gingival recession is measured from the most coronal portion of the gingival margin to the cementoenamel junction at 3 fixed points (in mesial, medial, and distal).
A software allows to overlay the initial scan with the post treatment scan; thus, the changes obtained thanks to the treatment in the height of the gingival margin are objectively measured.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Periodontal probing of all teeth Before and after 3 months post-treatment Value measured with a Williams periodontal probe with markings at 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 mm, from the bottom of the gingival sulcus to the gingival margin at 3 points (mesial, medial and distal).
