Registration Number
NCT05688293

Brief Summary

Thin gingival phenotype is one of the major causative factors of gingival recession type 1 which can result in hypersensitivity, discomfort, and compromised esthetics. This study assess the efficacy of increasing the gingival thickness from thin gingival phenotype to thick gingival phenotype in the treatment of patients suffering from gingival recession (RT1) and maintenance of results using either connective tissue graft or de-epithelized free gingival graft after non-surgical periodontal debridement compared to non-surgical periodontal debridement alone.

Detailed Description

This parallel arm randomized controlled clinical trial study will include systematically free patients with thin gingival phenotype. They will be randomly allocated to three equal groups. Group A (test group, n=10) will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment and connective tissue graft using tunneling technique, Group B (test group, n=10) will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment and partially de-epithelized free gingival graft, while group C (control group, n=10) will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment only. After 3, 6 and 12 months gingival biotype will be clinically assessed (1ry outcome). This parameter will be recorded at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months. The 2ry outcomes will include recording of recession depth, plaque index, bleeding on probing, keratinized tissue width . Postoperative pain and swelling will be recorded daily by the patient for the 1st two weeks post-surgically. Postoperative instructions and medication will be given to the patient. All readings will be carried out by a calibrated outcome assessor who will be masked. Follow-up will be performed to assess the outcomes and to ensure performing proper oral hygiene. Data collected will be tabulated and statistically analyzed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gingival phenotype changeat baseline 3,6 and 12 months

determination of the change in gingival thickness in mm using periodontal probe

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Keratinized tissue widthat baseline 3,6 and 12 months

determination of Keratinized tissue width in mm using periodontal probe

Root coverage esthetic score (RES)at baseline 3,6 and 12 months

It is a scoring system to assess the level of gingival margin (GM),marginal tissue contour (MTC),Soft tissue texture, Mucogingival alignment (MGJ),Gingival color The score is 0,1 and 3 where 0 is the minimum and 3 is the maximum
