Acellular Dermal Matrix Graft In Root Coverage of Gingival Recessions With Previously Restored Cervical Lesions

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Gingival Recession
Interventions
Procedure: Root coverage with extended flap technique and acelular dermal matrix
Registration Number
NCT03615092
Lead Sponsor
University of Sao Paulo
Brief Summary

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.

Control GroupRoot coverage with extended flap technique and acelular dermal matrixthe aim of this study is to compare if the acellular dermal matrix graft is as efficient as a substitute for the connective graft used in root coverage of gingival recessions with non carious cervical lesions. The control group had no cervical lesion, and was treated with the same technique as the acelular dermal matrix graft
Test GroupRoot coverage with extended flap technique and acelular dermal matrixActive Comparator: gingival recession with a previous restored cervical lesion the aim of this study is to compare if the acellular dermal matrix graft is as efficient as a substitute for the connective graft used in root coverage of gingival recessions with non carious cervical lesions.
Primary Outcome Measures

Root coverage6 months

Root coverage is measured by the difference between the gingival recession height at 6 months and baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Keratinized tissue6months

The difference between keratinized tissue width and depth at 6 months and at baseline.
