About this study

Official title: Treatment of Gingival Recession Using a Coronally Advanced Flap Procedure With or Without Placental Membrane

Aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of placental membrane with coronally advanced flap in covering single and multiple Miller's class I and II gingival recession defects.

Read the detailed description

STUDY DESIGN A total number of 60 teeth in 15 subjects were selected. Patients with bilateral Miller's class I and II gingival recession defects in the maxillary or mandibular anterior and premolar region were selected and divided into two groups using a split mouth design.

GroupI (Control) -30 recession defects treated with coronally advanced flap alone, using Zucchelli's technique.

Group II (Test) - 30 recession defects treated with coronally advanced flap, using Zucchelli's technique along with placental membrane.

.

CLINICAL PARAMETERS:

  1. Probing Pocket Depth(PPD)
  2. Clinical Attachment Level(CAL)
  3. Height of Gingival Recession(HGR)
  4. Width of Gingival Recession(WGR)
  5. Width of Keratinized Gingiva(WKG) The clinical parameters were assessed \& recorded on 0 day, 90th day and 180th day
Being tested
recession coverage, recession coverage and membrane
Keywords

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Height of Gingival recession

    The height of gingival recession was measured from the cemento-enamel junction to the gingival margin using Williams periodontal probe

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical attachment level

    Clinical attachment level is measured as the distance between a fixed point on the crown such as cementoenamel junction to the base of the pocket using williams periodontal probe

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

  2. Width of Keratinized Gingiva

    It is measured as the distance from the gingival margin to the mucogingival junction using williams periodontal probe

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing recession coverage and recession coverage and membrane in people with Gingival Recession, run by Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2017. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Height of Gingival recession (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03053921, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 15 Feb 2017.
