Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft Versus Conventional Free Gingival Graft (Ns-dFGG; cFGG)

October University for Modern Sciences and Arts

Status: Enrolling

Conditions: Deficient Keratinized Mucosa

Treatments: Procedure: Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft; Procedure: Conventional FGG

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT07174752

Ethical committee

61124

Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this (study type: RCT) is to learn if the use of the non-submerged de-epithelized FGG will result in better esthetic outcomes in adults. The main questions that it aims to answer are:

• Does this procedure increase the width of keratinized tissue?
• Does this procedure increase the depth of the vestibule? Researchers will compare this technique with the gold standard using the FGG to evaluate which technique provides better esthetics.

Enrollment: 30 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
