Details and patient eligibility

About

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the root coverage rate of the gingival unit-shaped connective tissue graft, obtained by intraoral de-epithelization, with the traditional de-epithelialized free gingival graft in localized recessions of anterior and premolar teeth. In addition, it is aimed to compare the postoperative gingival thickness between the two techniques. The secondary aim is to search the effects of both techniques on periodontal parameters and to evaluate patient-centered outcomes.

15 participants in 2 patient groups

De-epithelialized gingival unit graft

Experimental group

Description:

In this split-mouth randomized controlled trial, the coin toss method will determine test and control groups. In both groups, connective tissue graft with a trapezoidal flap design will be applied to the recession area. To obtain the connective tissue graft, the gingival unit graft will be de-epithelialized in the test group.

Treatment:

Procedure: Coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft

De-epithelialized free gingival graft

Experimental group

Description:

In this split-mouth randomized controlled trial, the coin toss method will determine test and control groups. In both groups, connective tissue graft with a trapezoidal flap design will be applied to the recession area. To obtain the connective tissue graft, the traditional free gingival graft will be de-epithelialized in the control group.
