Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be between 18 and 80 years old, with recession present in one quadrant as either single or multiple buccal vertical recession sites
  • The defect must be at least 2mm in length, (measured from the CEJ to the midfacial gingival margin) and classified as either Miller Class I, II or III
  • Study is limited to vital and nonvital incisors, canines, and premolars
  • If teeth adjacent to the site to be treated had recession as well, they were included in the grafting procedure but not included in measurement
  • Plaque control defined as modified O'Leary Index of 85% was established before surgical intervention
  • Only sites with probing depths of 3mm or less and no bleeding on probing were accepted for surgery

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who smoke more than ten cigarettes per day or use nicotine replacement therapy
  • History of previous history of surgery performed at surgical sites included in study
  • Subjects who have uncontrolled or poorly controlled systemic conditions that could compromise or contraindicate periodontal surgery
  • Non-English speakers
  • Pregnant or lactating females
  • Immunosuppressant medications

About this study

Official title: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ROOT COVERAGE USING OrACELL™ VERSUS SUBEPITHELIAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE GRAFT: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

The purpose was to compare root coverage outcomes between autogenous connective tissue graft (CTG) and decellularized human dermis (OrACELL™) in areas of facial gingival recession.

Read the detailed description

Twenty-four non-smoking, healthy patients, with 2mm or greater facial gingival recession at a minimum of one site that classified as a Miller Class I, II, or III recession defect were included. Patients were randomly assigned to either control (CTG) or OrACELL™ (test) groups, which were treated with identical surgical techniques. All root coverage clinical parameters were evaluated at baseline, 3-, and 6-months.

What participants receive

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

  • OrACELLDevice

    OrACELL is human dermis that undergoes the MATRACELL process. MATRACELL is a patented and validated process that renders allograft tissue acellular, without compromising the biomechanical or desired biochemical properties of an allograft bio-implant for its intended surgical application.

  • Connective Tissue GraftDevice

    Also called Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft

    A measured layer of dermis is surgically removed from the palate for use as a graft to cover gingival recession

Study groups in NCT03226600
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Connective Tissue GraftActive comparatorConnective Tissue is harvested from the palate of the subject then placed over the recession defect on the facial of the designated tooth. A coronally advanced flap is raised to cover the connective tissue graft and the recession.
Receives: Device: Connective Tissue Graft
OrACELLExperimentalAllograft Tissue (human dermis) is removed from packing and placed over the recession defect on the facial of the designated tooth. A coronally advanced flap is raised to cover the OrACELL graft and the recession.
Receives: Device: OrACELL

What is being measured

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

  1. Gingival Recession (Root Coverage)

    The measurement in millimeters of the relationship of the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the gingival margin

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OrACELL and Connective Tissue Graft in people with Gingival Recession, run by Texas A&M 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 6 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 24 Jul 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. 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?

Gingival Recession (Root Coverage) (time frame: 6 months). 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 24 Jul 2017.
