Conditions
Wound Heal
Interventions
Device: Gelatin sponge stabilization with suture and cyanoacrylate
Procedure: Gelatin sponge stabilization with cyanoacrylate
Registration Number
NCT06083259
Lead Sponsor
Hacettepe University
Brief Summary

An epithelialized gingival graft will be harvested from the palate for the treatment of various mucogingival deformities. The donor site will be treated with either a combination of a collagen sponge and cyanoacrylate or a collagen sponge, cyanoacrylate, and suspending sutures. Intraoperatively, measurements will be taken for palatal tissue thickness, graft dimensions, working time, and primary bleeding time. Data regarding pain perception will be gauged using a visual analog scale, and the number of analgesics, secondary bleeding, epithelization level, and color match will be assessed prospectively. These outcomes will be evaluated on the first 7 days and subsequently on the 14th, 21st, and 28th days. Patient-reported outcomes will be recorded using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire.

gelatin sponge + cyanoacrylate + suspending suturesGelatin sponge stabilization with suture and cyanoacrylateAfter administration of local anesthesia (2% articaine hydrochloride with epinephrine 1:100,000), palatal thickness will be measured by perpendicularly inserting a Michigan-O periodontal probe from the corners of the rectangular donor area. Epithelialized gingival graft will be harvested. After a rectangular-shaped initial incision, a graft with 1-1.5 mm thickness will be harvested approximately 1.5 to 3 mm away from the gingival margins of the upper teeth. The donor site will be closed with a gelatin sponge + cyanoacrylate + suspending sutures.
gelatin sponge + cyanoacrylateGelatin sponge stabilization with cyanoacrylateAfter local anesthesia (2% articaine hydrochloride with epinephrine 1:100,000) administration, palatal thickness will be measured by perpendicularly inserting a Michigan-O periodontal probe from the corners of the rectangular donor area and the mean value will be recorded as palatal tissue thickness. The epithelialized gingival graft will be harvested using 15 knives. After a rectangular-shaped initial incision, a graft with 1-1.5 mm thickness will be harvested approximately 1.5 to 3 mm away from the gingival margins of the upper teeth. The donor site will be closed with a gelatin sponge and cyanoacrylate without sutures.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Donor site pain perceptioneveryday in first week

Patients score their daily donor site pain perception using visual analog score level by giving numbers from 0 to 10 according to the visual analog scale (0: no pain, 1: minimal pain, 10: severe pain)

Secondary bleeding timeduring first week

Patients will record presence or absence of secondary bleeding (presence=1 or absence=0).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Graft thicknessduring surgery

Dimensions will be measured during surgery by clinician using Michigan O probe (will be reported in mm)

Graft heightduring surgery

Dimensions will be measured during surgery by clinician using Michigan O probe (will be reported in mm)

Color matchfirst week, second week, third week, fourth week.

Color match with the adjacent tissue was determined by researcher using a Visual Analog Pain Scale scale (0: absence of harmony, 10: excellent harmony)

The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 is a questionnaire that measures how oral disorders impact a patient's quality of life.first week

The questionnaire has 14 items with answers rated on a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 = never to 5 = very often) to indicate a level of different problems related to oral health

Working timeduring surgery

Harvesting process will be recorded by an blinded research assistant

Quantity of analgesicsfirst week

Patients recorded the quantity of analgesics taken will be reported as quantity of pill

Sensation lossfirst week, second week , third week, fourth week.

Sensation loss will be scored by the help of clinician comparing with the symmetrical side an will be recorded as no-loss, medium loss or severe loss

Graft widthduring surgery

Dimensions will be measured during surgery by clinician using Michigan O probe.(will be reported in mm)

Epithelization levelfirst week, second week, third week, fourth week.

Epithelization level was scored by researcher as none, partial or full epithelization by means of bubble formation after dripping hydrogen peroxide (3%) to the wound surface.
