About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft Versus Acellular Dermal Matrix With Tunnel Technique in Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions (Randomized Clinical Trial, Parallel Design)

The goal of the present study is to compare the amount of root coverage resulting from subepithelial connective tissue graft and acellular dermal matrix associated with tunnel technique among patients suffering from multiple gingival recession.

Read the detailed description

Acellular dermal matrix with Tunnel technique will offers great advantages for patients with multiple gingival recession as regards decrease surgical time, Post-Operative pain and root coverage, clinical attachment level, width of Keratinized gingiva, gingival biotype compared to subepithelial connective tissue graft with Tunnel technique.

Being tested
Acellular Dermal Matrix, Tunnel technique with the subepithelial connective tissue graft
Medical subject headings
Gingival Recession

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Acellular Dermal MatrixBiological

    Also called Puros Dermis Allograft Tissue Matrix

    Puros Dermis is a collagenous membrane derived from solvent preserved,human dermis, works as biological scaffold for the new formation of vasculated connective tissue.

  • Tunnel technique with the subepithelial connective tissue graftProcedure or surgery

    Also called autogenous connective tissue graft

    Tunnel prepared with the placement of subepithelial connective tissue graft harvested from the palate

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Tunnel technique with acellular dermal matrixExperimentalthe tunnel technique involves separation of the gingiva, then acellular dermal matrix interposed between the flap and the root surface.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Acellular Dermal Matrix and Tunnel technique with the subepithelial connective tissue graft in people with Gingival Recession, run by Cairo University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

patient Satisfaction . (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Sep 2016.
