Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, the conventional SDG method applied to increase the adherent gingival band and partial de-epithelialized SDG methods were evaluated in terms of aesthetics and color compatibility of the recipient area with adjacent tissues.
This study is a controlled double-blind clinical trial randomized by split-mouth, envelope method.Clinical parameters and aesthetic harmony were compared at postoperative 1st, 3rd and 6th months after surgical procedures.Color harmony evaluation was made in 2 different ways, both by photo analysis of a blind researcher using computer software and by visual evaluation of the same blind researcher.
Detailed Description
The primary aim of this split mouth randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare the partial de-epithelialized free gingival grafting technique with the conventional free gingival grafting technique from an aesthetic point of view. The secondary aim of the study is to evaluate both techniques in terms of periodontal clinical parameters. This study is a controlled double-blind clinical trial randomized by split-mouth, envelope method. Fifteen patients with attached gingiva width ≤2 mm in the lower jaw bilateral canine and premolar regions were included in the study. De-epithelialized free gingival grafts were applied to the region determined by envelope randomization, and conventional free gingival grafts were applied to the other region. The areas of the patients with insufficient attached gingiva were photographed before the operation, post-op 1st, 3rd, and 6th months, and visual aesthetic evaluations were made with photo analyzes. Clinical parameters such as keratinized gingival width, probing pocket depth, and recession depths were recorded at baseline and at 6 months. Results were represented as mean ± standard deviation and median, and a p value of \<0,05 was considered statistically significant.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
aesthetic evaluation of both surgical methods
Time Frame: change in post-op 6 months
Aesthetic evaluation of both surgical methods was done by a blinded researcher by photo analysis. For photo analysis, photographs of the recipient area were taken at the beginning and 6 months after the operation with the help of Adobe Photoshop program and evaluated on these photographs.
Secondary Outcomes
- clinical parameters(change in post-op 6 months)
