About this study

Official title: Comparison Of Diode Laser-Assisted Vestibuloplasty And Conventional Vestibuloplasty In Terms Of Wound Healing And Vestibular Depth Gain

Randomized controlled parallel designed clinical study aimed to compare vestibule depth gain and dimensional changes of wound area in individuals who underwent vestibule deepening surgery using diode laser and conventional technique

Read the detailed description

52 systemically healthy patients aged between 18 and 53 years (10 males and 42 females) with inadequate vestibular depth and insufficient attached gingiva in the anterior mandible were included in this randomized examiner- and patient-blinded, parallel design study. Following nonsurgical periodontal treatment, patients were divided into 4 groups as follows: a) diode laser (L); b) diode laser+Low level laser therapy (LLLT); c) conventional surgery and conventional surgery+LLLT, and vestibule deepening was applied to all subjects either with scalpel or laser assisted.

Scalpel surgery was performed as Clark's vestibuloplasty. A local anesthetic was administered bilaterally to the mental area. Then, a horizontal incision was prepared at the mucogingival junction with a scalpel blade 15c. All the muscle fibers over the periosteum were resected carefully. Following, the mucosal flap was sutured to the depth of the vestibule sulcus with 4-0 polypropylene suture material, once every 4 mm, from a total of 5 regions.

Laser assisted vestibuloplasty was performed using diode laser. Local anesthesia was achieved in the same manner as the control group (scalpel surgery). Laser irradiation was performed in continuous wave mode, using a 980 nm diode laser with a power of 1.5W, 600 μm optical fiber. After adequate local anesthesia, ablation was started from the mucogingival junction and performed with horizontal movements parallel to the bone. The muscle attachments were slowly released until the deepest point of the wound site was 5 mm. The mucosal flap was not stabilized with sutures and periodontal dressing was not used to cover the wound area.

What participants receive

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

  • Diode LaserProcedure or surgery

    Vestibuloplasty surgery was performed via diode laser. Laser irradiation was performed in continuous wave mode, using a 980 nm diode laser with a power of 1.5W, 600 μm optical fiber.

  • Conventional SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    A local anesthetic was administered bilaterally to the mental area and waited for 5 min for diffusion of the solution. Then, a horizontal incision was prepared at the mucogingival junction with a scalpel blade no. 15c. All the muscle fibers over the periosteum were resected carefully. Following, the mucosal flap was sutured to the depth of the vestibule sulcus with 4-0 polypropylene suture material, once every 4 mm, from a total of 5 regions.

  • Low level laser therapy (LLLT)Other

    Vestibuloplasty surgery was performed via diode laser. Following, LLLT was applied in continuous wave mode for 1 minute without contacting the tissue, using a phototherapy probe (power output, 0.5W; total energy of 6 J / cm²) at a distance of 1-2 mm from the tissue. LLLT was repeated immediately after the surgery, on the 1st, 3rd and 7th days

What is being measured

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

  1. Vestibule Depth Measurement Change (millimeter)

    Measurements were performed with the help of a plastic stopper placed on the endodontic canal instrument, with reference to the guides created on the acrylic stent which was prepared before the surgery

    Measured: Change from Baseline vestibule depth measurement at 1 week; Change from Baseline vestibule depth measurement at 2 week; Change from Baseline vestibule depth measurement at 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Re-epithelization Area of the operation region

    Areas where there is little or no gingival epithelium were evaluated by applying a plaque staining agent to the surgical area. Clinical photographs of the stained gingiva were taken immediately after the operation and on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th days after the operation, using pre-prepared acrylic stents. Images were taken at standard magnification and distance on a digital camera (four optical zooms, 20cm) and the head of each patient was positioned to standardize the images. Incomplete epithelialized areas were measured using an image analysis software by the investigator blinded to the groups

    Measured: Change from baseline re-epithelization Area at 3 day; Change from baseline re-epithelization Area at 7 day; Change from baseline re-epithelization Area at 14 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diode Laser, Conventional Surgery and Low level laser therapy (LLLT) in people with Wound Heal and Vestibular Abnormality, run by Abant Izzet Baysal University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 23 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Vestibule Depth Measurement Change (millimeter) (time frame: Change from Baseline vestibule depth measurement at 1 week; Change from Baseline vestibule depth measurement at 2 week; Change from Baseline vestibule depth measurement at 1 month). 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 23 Feb 2022.
