Use of Platelet Rich Fibrin in Addition to CAF and SCTG for Treatment of Gingival Recession

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Gingival Recession
Interventions
Procedure: CAF +SCTG
Other: platelet rich fibrin
Registration Number
NCT03199118
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

This research will be conducted in an attempt to achieve complete root coverage with physiologic probing depth and a harmonious view with the adjacent tissues using Platelet rich fibrin in conjunction with Coronally advanced flap and subepithelial connective tissue graft.

Detailed Description

The study population will be divided into 2 groups:

Group 1:

Patients suffering from Miller class I or II gingival recession will be treated with a coronally advanced flap in conjunction with a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft. The patients should be non-smoker, medically free and above 18 years

Group 2:

Patients suffering from Miller class I or II gingival recession will be treated with a coronally advanced flap in conjunction with a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft and platelet rich fibrin. the patients should meet the same inclusion criteria mentionned above.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recession Depthbaseline-3 months-6 months

measured from the cemento-enamel junction to the margin of the gingiva at the mid-buccal point of the teeth at basline, 3 months and 6 months. It is recorded in millimeters (mm) with lower values mean better outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post Operative Painafter 2 weeks from surgery

Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with numbers from 0 to 10 ('no pain' to 'worstpain imaginable') for the first 2 weeks postoperatively

Clinical Attachment Levelbaseline-3 months-6 months

measured from the CEJ to the base of the sulcus at the midbuccal point of the teeth. Its is recorded in millimeters (mm).

Recession Widthbaseline-3 months-6 months

It was measured as the distance from mesial and distal papillae along the CEJ. It is recorded in millimeters (mm) where lower values means a better outcome.

Root Coverage Gainat 6 months

(preoperative vertical recession - postoperative vertical recession/preoperative vertical recession) x 100.

Probing Depthbaseline-3 months-6 months

measured from the gingival margin to the base of the pocket probe at the midbuccal point of the teeth. Its is recorded in millimeters (mm) where lower values mean better outcome.

Patient Satisfactionquestionnaire given to the patient 6 months after the surgery

printed yes/ no questionnaire with 3 questions:

1. would you do this surgery again?

2. would you recommend this treatment to others?

3. are you satisfied with the results?

Gingival Biotypebaseline-3 months-6 months

under local anesthesia from 3 mm below the gingival margin trans-gingivally piercing tissues horizontally, perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth until it contacts bone. Its is recorded in millimeters (mm) where higher values mean better outcome.

Width of Keratinized Gingivabaseline-3 months-6 months

from the margin of the gingiva to the mucogingival junction at the midbuccal point of the teeth. Its is reported in millimeters where higher values mean better outcome.

Root Coverage Esthetic Score (RES)6 months

The RES system evaluates 5 variables 6 months after surgery: Zero, 3, or 6 points are used for the evaluation of the position of the gingival margin (GM). A score of 0 or 1 point is used for each of the following variables: marginal tissue contour (MTC), soft tissue texture (STT), mucogingival junction (MGJ) alignment, and gingival color (GC). the points are then summed up to obtain one figure representing the RES.

minimum value:0 maximum value: 10 which means better outcome for RES
