简要总结
Gingival recession is a clinical condition in which the gingival margin is displaced apically, exposing the root surface. This condition may be associated with esthetic concerns, dentin hypersensitivity, and difficulties in oral hygiene. Subepithelial connective tissue grafting is considered a standard surgical approach for root coverage, but it requires harvesting tissue from the palate, which may increase postoperative discomfort. Volume-stable xenogeneic collagen matrices have been proposed as an alternative biomaterial to reduce the need for a palatal donor site.
This randomized controlled clinical trial will compare a volume-stable xenogeneic collagen matrix with an autogenous subepithelial connective tissue graft for the treatment of multiple gingival recessions. Participants will be allocated to one of two treatment groups. The test group will receive root coverage surgery using a volume-stable collagen matrix, while the control group will receive root coverage surgery using a subepithelial connective tissue graft. Clinical, patient-reported, esthetic, and digital outcomes will be assessed at baseline and during follow-up visits up to 12 months.
The primary outcome will be the change in gingival recession depth from baseline to 12 months. Secondary outcomes will include keratinized tissue width, gingival thickness, percentage of root coverage, complete root coverage, dentin hypersensitivity, patient-reported satisfaction, early wound healing, and digital volumetric changes assessed by intraoral scanning.
详细描述
This study is a randomized controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the clinical performance of a volume-stable xenogeneic collagen matrix compared with an autogenous subepithelial connective tissue graft in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions.
Eligible participants presenting multiple gingival recessions will be recruited and allocated to one of two parallel treatment groups. In the test group, participants will receive root coverage surgery using a volume-stable xenogeneic collagen matrix associated with a coronally advanced flap. In the control group, participants will receive root coverage surgery using an autogenous subepithelial connective tissue graft associated with a coronally advanced flap.
Clinical assessments will include gingival recession depth, keratinized tissue width, probing depth, clinical attachment level, gingival thickness, percentage of root coverage, and complete root coverage. Patient-reported outcomes will include dentin hypersensitivity, postoperative comfort, esthetic satisfaction, and acceptance of the procedure. Standardized clinical photographs and intraoral scans will be obtained during follow-up. Digital analyses will be used to assess changes in soft tissue volume over time.
The primary endpoint will be the change in gingival recession depth from baseline to 12 months. Secondary endpoints will include clinical, esthetic, patient-reported, wound healing, and digital volumetric outcomes assessed at predefined follow-up visits.

盲法说明
The clinical examiner and the assessors responsible for photographic and digital outcome analyses will be masked to treatment allocation. The surgeon will not be masked because of the nature of the procedures. Participants will not be masked because the control group involves palatal tissue harvesting.
