Abstract
BACKGROUND Free gingival graft is commonly used to augment the keratinized mucosa and vestibular depth around dental implants. The proper suturing technique is fundamental to achieve a successful result following free gingival graft. However, there are limited studies that focus on the details of the suturing methods to optimize graft adaptation. The purpose of this technical note is to describe a new suturing technique for optimal approximation and stabilization of free gingival graft around dental implants. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we present a 53-year-old Persian female with peri-implantitis and lack of keratinized mucosa around mandibular implants who was a candidate for free gingival graft. A new suturing technique, double vertical interrupted suture, was conducted in the interimplant areas. In addition, the suspensory cross-mattress sutures were added to ensure the adaptation of the graft over the implants. The proposed suturing technique is useful for soft tissue augmentation around multiple implants with concave or uneven recipient bed. CONCLUSION The present article describes a novel suturing technique for good adaptation and fixation of free gingival graft around dental implants.

Dos Santos KVR, Leles JLR, Roriz VM, Leles CR. Topographical and histological analysis of keratinized mucosal grafts removal techniques an ex-vivo study in porcine mandibles. Sci Rep 2024; 14:13066. [PMID: 38844764 PMCID: PMC11156962 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58559-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the surface and tissue quality of keratinized mucosa grafts (KMG) obtained using the conventional scalpel and mucotome techniques. This was an experimental in vitro/ex vivo study involving six porcine hemi-mandibles. Specimens were harvested using both the mucotome and conventional scalpel techniques, with randomization determining the choice of technique for tissue removal. The specimens were prepared following predefined laboratory protocols and subsequently subjected to optical microscopy for evaluating epithelial and connective tissue and scanning electron microscopy for topographical and 3D profilometry analysis. Tissues harvested using the mucotome exhibited a linear base and uniform thickness, along with the presence of submucosa and fibrous connective tissue, all of which are ideal for graft success. Differences in the surface characteristics of specimens obtained through the two techniques were observed during a comparative analysis of images obtained through both microscopy types. KMG obtained using the mucotome technique displayed greater uniformity and reduced undesirable cell presence compared to the scalpel technique, thereby enhancing the likelihood of success in soft tissue graft surgical procedures. This study provides valuable insights to oral healthcare professionals and may contribute to future research aimed at achieving more successful surgeries, shorter postoperative recovery times, reduced discomfort, and an overall more positive patient experience.

Abstract
High average life expectancy has caused an increase in the elderly population and with it arises the need to characterize this population regarding their health and, in particular, their oral health. The purpose of this study was to assess and characterize oral health, oral rehabilitation, oral health literacy, oral health perception and quality of life in a sample of elderly participants of a physical activity program in Portugal. An observational cross-sectional study was designed with a group of 206 individuals. All the individuals were clinically assessed, DMFT, PSR and the plaque index were registered, and a questionnaire was applied in the form of a "face-to-face" interview with questions related to the quality of life related to oral health (GOHAI index and the REALD-30 scale). Of the 206 study participants, 90.3% admit brushing their teeth daily, 6.3% practice daily flossing, and 5.8% had a dental appointment in the last 12 months. Applying the REALD-30 scale, 22.7% have a low level (score 0-14), 43.7% a moderate level (score 15-22) and 33.6% a high level (score 23-29) of oral health literacy. The GOHAI scale reveals that 37.4% have a high self-perception of their oral health. A considerable proportion of the sample studied present a moderate level of oral health literacy. Therefore, educating each person about their oral health when participating in a specific health program and developing proposals for oral health promotion activities should be widely considered as a strategy towards primary prevention. Future oral health literacy sessions should be held in order to improve oral health and quality of life among the community.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The tunnel technique (TUN) preserves the integrity of the papilla by creating envelope flaps that allow for the insertion of a connective tissue graft, and/or biomaterials. METHODS (1) A comprehensive overview of tunneling flap procedures in the treatment of gingival recessions (GRs) for soft tissue coverage is presented and (2) A classification system for soft and hard tissue anatomy of GR sites which may aid the clinician in determining the surgical complexity is being introduced. RESULTS A novel clinical classification system is proposed to illustrate complexity levels determined by soft and hard tissue anatomy of GR sites such as the mucogingival junction proximity to the gingival margin, bone morphotype, and mucosal margin thickness. CONCLUSIONS TUN is highly effective in treating single/multiple GRs. Its limitations are related to variability in surgical site anatomy and operator expertise. A classification system based on anatomical soft and hard tissue variations has been proposed to help identify complexity levels encountered during tunneling procedures. KEY POINTS Site-related factors directly impact the surgical variables related to tissue trauma, flap tension, soft tissue management, muscle pull, and wound stability during the healing of gingival recessions (GRs). The achievement of expedited and favorable wound healing is crucial to obtaining quantitative and qualitative success in the treatment of GR and the long-term stability of root coverage. A classification system based on anatomical soft and hard tissue variations has been proposed to facilitate tunneling procedures while respecting surgical principles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This split-mouth randomized study aimed to assess efficacy of leucocyte-platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) versus connective tissue graft (CTG) in achieving root coverage (RC) for multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGRs) throughout 12-month period. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study enrolled 59 teeth from 12 patients with Miller Class I MAGRs ≥ 2 mm on bilateral or contralateral sides. Patients were randomly assigned to receive coronally advanced flap (CAF) with either CTG (control) or L-PRF (test) treatment. Various parameters, including plaque and gingival index, clinical attachment level, recession depth, probing depth, recession width (RW), papilla width (PW), keratinized tissue width (KTW), gingival thickness (GT), percentage of RC, complete root coverage (CRC), and location of the relative gingival margin concerning the cemento-enamel junctions (GMCEJ) after CAF, were recorded at baseline, 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-surgery. On June 29, 2021 the study was registred to ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04942821). RESULTS Except KTW and GT gain, all clinical parameters, RC, and CRC were similar between the groups at all follow-up periods (p > 0.05). The higher GT and KTW gains were detected in the control group compared to test group at 12 months (p < 0.05). Both RC and CRC were positively associated with initial PW and GMCEJ, but negatively with initial RW (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The current study concludes that L-PRF were equally effective as CTG in treating MAGRs in terms of RC and CRC. Additionally, RC and CRC outcomes appeared to be influenced by GMCEJ, PW, and RW. CLINICAL RELEVANCE L-PRF could represent a feasible substitute for CTG in treating MAGRs.

Abstract
The goal of plastic periodontal surgery is to obtain complete root coverage, increasing gingival thickness (GT), a positive prognostic factor for gingival margin stability over time. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) in RT1 (GR; gingival recession with no loss of interproximal attachment) when associated with a connective tissue graft from the maxillary tuberosity (tCTG) or with leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) membranes in obtaining root coverage and increasing the thickness and width of the keratinized tissue, along with aesthetic improvement, taking into account a number of patient-related outcomes. Thirty patients with two adjacent RT1 GRs (GRs with no loss of interproximal attachment) were each treated using CAF associated with tCTG (15 patients) or L-PRF. The main outcome was a GT increase; secondary outcomes were keratinized tissue width (KT), gingival recession (GR), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), root coverage percentage (RC%), complete root coverage (CRC), and root coverage esthetic score (RES). Patient-reported outcomes were discomfort (D), dentine hypersensitivity (DH), patient-related esthetic score (PRES), and overall treatment satisfaction (OTS). After 12 months, clinical and patient-reported parameters did not show significant differences between groups, with the only exception being a GT gain, which was significantly greater in the CAF + tCTG group. Our results showed that both techniques were effective in treating RT1 GRs, with comparable patient-related outcomes. However, the use of tCTG produces significantly thicker tissue, covering the exposed root surface.

Long-term stability of gingival margin and periodontal soft-tissue phenotype achieved after mucogingival therapy: A systematic review. J Clin Periodontol 2024; 51:177-195. [PMID: 37963451 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review was two-fold: (i) to evaluate the long-term (≥5 years) stability of the gingival margin position, keratinized tissue width (KTW) and gingival thickness (GT) in sites that underwent root coverage (RC) or gingival augmentation (GA); and (ii) to assess the influence of different local variables on the long-term stability of dental and gingival tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs reporting short-term (i.e., 6-12 months after baseline surgical intervention) and long-term (≥5 years) follow-up data after surgical treatment of adult patients presenting single or multiple mucogingival deformities, defined as sites presenting gingival recession defects (GRDs) and/or (KTW) deficiency (i.e., <2 mm), were considered eligible for inclusion. MEDLINE-PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched for articles published up to 15 May 2023. Mixed-effects multiple linear regression was used to assess the association between KTW, type of surgical procedure and time (i.e., independent variables) on the stability of the gingival margin in sites that received RC or GA therapy. RESULTS Of the 2569 potentially eligible records, 41 (reporting 40 studies) met the eligibility criteria. Graphical estimates including data from all RC procedures found an upward trend in recession depth (RD) increase over time. Conversely, it was observed that in 63.63% of RC studies and in 59.32% of RC treatment arms KTW increased over time, particularly in sites treated with subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTGs). Conversely, sites that underwent GA procedures generally exhibited an overall reduction of KTW over time. However, sites treated with free gingival grafts (FGGs) showed a decrease in RD after 10 years of follow-up. Three main findings derived from the pooled estimates were identified: (i) Gingival margin stability was associated with the amount of KTW present during short-term assessment (i.e. the greater the KTW at 6-12 months after treatment, the more stable the gingival margin). (ii) The use of autogenous soft-tissue grafts was associated with lower RD increase over time. (iii) Treatment approaches that contribute to the three-dimensional enhancement of the gingival phenotype, as clearly demonstrated by FGG, were associated with gingival margin stability. CONCLUSIONS The extent of apical migration of the gingival margin appears to be directly related to the amount of KTW and GT upon tissue maturation. Interventions involving the use of autogenous grafts, either SCTG or FGG, are associated with greater short-term KTW gain and lower RD increase over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of combining the amniotic membrane (AM) with the coronally advanced flap (CAF) in the treatment of Miller class I and II gingival recession (GR). METHODS The protocol of this updated PRISMA-compliant systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023431501). The following treatment outcomes were recorded; recession depth (RD), recession width (RW), width of keratinized gingiva (WKG), and clinical attachment level (CAL). We searched the following databases: MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Science Direct. RESULTS Two independent reviewers screened the selected articles. Twenty-two eligible articles were extracted, with 689 sites of GR in 481 patients. No statistically significant difference was found in RD, RW, WKG, and CAL between (AM&CAF) in comparison to control groups. However, the subgroup analysis showed statistically significant differences in RD between the (AM & CAF) group v/s (CAF) alone (P = 0.004). Moreover, the subgroup analysis of the WKG showed statistically significant differences between (AM & CAF) v/s (CAF&CM) (p = 0.04). Additionally, a statistically significant difference was found in the subgroup analysis of CAL between both (AM & CAF) group v/s (CAF) alone (p = 0.0009). CONCLUSION With the limitations of this meta-analysis due to short follow-up periods (6 months), the AM can be considered a viable treatment option for GR defects with satisfactory treatment outcomes comparable to other previously investigated treatment modalities. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE While AM showed various beneficial properties as an ideal membrane for the coverage of GR, future studies are required to completely understand the potential application of AM in the treatment of GR.

Abstract
The adjunctive use of healing gels following periodontal plastic surgery is not common in clinical practice, and no definitive benefits have yet been demonstrated. Case Presentation. A 33-year-old male patient with a central lower incisor class RT1 recession sought treatment due to sensitivity and dissatisfaction with the appearance of his smile. The patient had no history of periodontal disease; however, he was under orthodontic treatment contributing to the gingival recession and irregular gum contours. Treatment. The patient underwent two sequential surgical procedures. Initially, an apically repositioned flap (APF) was performed to correct the frenulum reducing flap tension and improving the gum line aesthetics. Subsequently, after 8 weeks, a tunneled coronally advanced flap (TCAF) was executed to further refine the gum contours and achieve root coverage. Postoperative Healing Protocol. To enhance the healing process and alleviate postoperative discomfort, a healing gel containing hyaluronic acid as the active molecule was applied to the surgical sites. The gel was expected to reduce pain perception and minimize the need for painkiller intake during the critical first week of recovery. The patient was asked to fill a pain chart for the initial 7 days, recording pain levels on a visual analogue scale (VAS 0-10) and the number of paracetamol tablets taken as painkillers. Results. After both the APF and TCAF surgeries, the patient reported pain levels with a mean VAS score of 4.33 and 4.25, respectively. The painkiller intake during the first week was noted to be 3 tablets for the APF and 2 tablets for the TCAF. Notably, the application of the healing gel with hyaluronic acid did not cause any adverse reactions, indicating its potential safety and efficacy in this context. Conclusion. The application of a healing gel containing hyaluronic acid after periodontal plastic surgery showed promising results in reducing postoperative pain and the need for painkillers during the initial week of recovery. However, further investigations through randomized clinical trials are required to establish the potential benefits and broader applicability of such healing gel applications in the context of periodontal plastic surgery.

Bertoldi C, Consolo U, Lalla M, Zaffe D, Tanza D, Cairo F, Cortellini P. Long-term stability (21-30 years) of root coverage outcomes using sub-epithelial connective tissue grafts at single or multiple gingival recessions: A longitudinal case series. J Clin Periodontol 2024; 51:2-13. [PMID: 37794814 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate outcomes and predictive factors for the long-term stability of root coverage using a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft. MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred and two healthy subjects (221 gingival recessions, GRs) were treated from 1987 to 1996. Keratinized tissue width (KTW), GR depth (RD), GR width (RW) and GR area (RA) were evaluated at baseline (M0) and at 1 month (M1), 1 year (M2), 11 years (M3), 21 years (M4) and 27 years (M5) after surgery. Primary outcomes consisted of complete root coverage (cRC) and relative dimensional changes in recession depth (measured in mm [c%-RD]), recession width (measured in mm [c%-RW]) and recession area (measured in mm2 [c%-RA]). RESULTS cRC was 88.7% at 1 year (M2), 59.8% at M3, 44.4% at M4 and 51.9% at M5. Average c%-RD was 95.2% at 1 year, 81.9% at M3, 71.5% at M4 and 81.7% at M5. KTW increased after surgery and over time and was positively correlated with favourable outcomes. Increased baseline RA was associated with less favourable clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The sub-epithelial connective tissue graft is effective in the treatment of GRs and facilitates long-term stability of clinical outcomes. Wider baseline RA was a strong predictor of unfavourable short- and long-term RC outcomes.

Post-extraction volumetric analysis of alveolar ridge contour using subepithelial connective tissue graft in esthetic zone: a randomized controlled clinical trial. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:6503-6512. [PMID: 37726486 PMCID: PMC10630239 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05255-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to assess the alveolar ridge contour after soft tissue augmentation using subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) buccal to fresh extraction sockets in patients with thin buccal bone, versus minimally-traumatic extraction followed by spontaneous healing solely. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty non-restorable maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone were randomly assigned into two groups: minimally-traumatic extraction with SCTG (test) and minimally-traumatic extraction followed by spontaneous healing (control). The outcomes assessed included linear volumetric change of buccal soft tissue contour, vertical tissue loss, gingival thickness (GT), and interdental papilla (IDP) height after 6 months. RESULTS The SCTG group showed a significant improvement (P < 0.001) in all outcomes after 6 months. The SCTG group showed a statistically significant (P < 0.001) gain in the buccal soft tissue volumetric change compared to the control group. The SCTG group showed a statistically significant increase in GT (P < 0.001) and IDP height (P < 0.05) after 6 months compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS The use of SCTG buccal to extraction sockets in the anterior maxilla might be considered as a predictable approach for preserving the alveolar ridge contour. CLINICAL RELEVANCE SCTG buccal to extraction sockets might counteract post-extraction hard and soft tissue alterations in the esthetic zone.

Abstract
AIM To determine the structural and gene expression features of different intra-oral soft tissue donor sites (i.e., anterior palate, posterior palate, maxillary tuberosity and retromolar pad). MATERIALS AND METHODS Standardized mucosal tissue punch biopsies were collected from at least one donor site per subject. Histological processing was performed to determine tissue morphometry and quantify collagen composition. Site-specific gene distribution was mapped using targeted gene expression analysis and validated using real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). RESULTS A total of 50 samples from 37 subjects were harvested. Epithelial thickness did not differ between sites. However, lamina propria was thicker in the maxillary tuberosity (2.55 ± 0.92 mm) and retromolar pad (1.98 ± 0.71 mm) than in the lateral palate. Type I collagen was the predominant structural protein in the lamina propria (75.06%-80.21%). Genes involving collagen maturation and extracellular matrix regulation were highly expressed in the maxillary tuberosity and retromolar pad, while lipogenesis-associated genes were markedly expressed in the lateral palate. The retromolar pad showed the most distinct gene expression profile, and the anterior and posterior palate displayed similar transcription profiles. CONCLUSIONS Tissue samples harvested from the anterior and posterior palate differed morphologically from those from the maxillary tuberosity and retromolar pad. Each intra-oral site showed a unique gene expression profile, which might impact their biological behaviour and outcomes of soft tissue augmentation procedures.

Abstract
Autologous materials have superior biosafety and are widely used in clinical practice. Due to its excellent trauma-healing ability, the hard palate mucosa (HPM) has become a hot spot for autologous donor area research. Multiple studies have conducted an in-depth analysis of the healing ability of the HPM at the cellular and molecular levels. In addition, the HPM has good maneuverability as a donor area for soft tissue grafts, and researchers have isolated various specific mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from HPM. Free soft tissue grafts obtained from the HPM have been widely used in the clinic and have played an essential role in dentistry, eyelid reconstruction, and the repair of other specific soft tissue defects. This article reviews the advantages of HPM as a donor area and its related mechanisms, classes of HPM-derived biomaterials, the current status of clinical applications, challenges, and future development directions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gingival tissue regeneration is associated with several challenges. Tissue engineering regenerates the different components of the tissues, providing three major elements: living cells, appropriate scaffolds, and tissue-inducing substances. This study aimed to regenerate the gingival connective tissue in vitro, using human gingival fibroblasts cultured in three-dimensional fibrin gel scaffolds. DESIGN Human gingival fibroblasts were seeded in a novel three-dimensional fibrin gel scaffold and maintained in two media types: platelet lysate media (control) and collagen-stimulating media (test). Cellular viability and proliferation were assessed, and the production of collagen and other extracellular matrix components in these constructs was investigated and compared. RESULTS Human gingival fibroblasts cultured in three-dimensional cultures were metabolically active and proliferated in both media. Furthermore, histologic sections, scanning electron microscopy, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction confirmed the production of higher levels of collagen and other extracellular matrix fibers in three-dimensional constructs cultured in collagen-stimulating media. CONCLUSIONS Culturing human gingival fibroblasts in a novel three-dimensional fibrin gel scaffold containing collagen-stimulating media resulted in a tissue-equivalent construct that mimics human gingival connective tissue. The impact of these results should be considered for further investigations, which may help to develop a compatible scaffold for gingival soft tissue regeneration and treatment of mucogingival deformities.

Abstract
Due to the primary closure of the fragile tissues, large postoperative drainage is unexpected following a periodontal medical procedure. This case study elaborately illustrates the formation of a "liver coagulation" or "currant jam clot" following a periodontal fold surgical operation. Contamination, internal damage, and the presence of foreign particles such as bone splinters or bits of dental restorative dressing can all increase the risk of an incident happening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of periosteal pedicle graft (PPG) in terms of root coverage and patient related outcomes. To the best of our knowledge this is the first systematic review with meta-analysis on PPG. MATERIAL AND METHODS A comprehensive search was performed using electronic and hand searches upto January 2023. Primary outcomes were Recession depth Reduction (Rec Red), mean root coverage (mRC) and complete root coverage (CRC). Secondary outcomes were gain in width of keratinized gingiva (WKG) and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). Meta-analysis was performed when possible. The risk bias assessment was done using RevMan5.4.1 and Joanna Briggs institute scale for the included RCTs and case series respectively. RESULTS A total of 8 RCTs and 2 case series (538 recession sites) were included based upon the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The follow up period ranged from 6 months to 18 months. Results demonstrated that mRC of PPG + Coronally advanced flap (CAF) was 87.7% for localized gingival recession defects (GRDs) and 84.83% for multiple GRDs. An overall gain in WKG (Weighted Mean =1.49 ± 0.27 mm) was observed among all the included studies in the PPG + CAF group with mean difference (-0.10 (95% CI [-0.52, 0.33], p = 0.66)). Sub-group meta-analysis comparing PPG + CAF with sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) + CAF resulted in similar outcomes in terms of Rec Red (0.10 (95% CI [-0.56 to 0.77], p = 0.76)) and gain in WKG (-0.03 (95% CI [-0.25 to 0.18], p = 0.76)). In terms of PROMs systematic review revealed better patient satisfaction with PPG + CAF than SCTG + CAF. CONCLUSION PPG + CAF is a viable treatment modality for management of GRDs. The primary and secondary outcomes achieved utilizing PPG + CAF were found to be comparable to other conventional techniques including the gold standard i.e., SCTG.

Abstract
Root coverage procedures have become very common in clinical dental practice. Even though these techniques are considered safe, the clinician may face several issues during the therapy due to their surgical nature. Some of these issues can be defined strictly as complications inherent to the procedure, whereas others are medical errors or treatment errors. This review will focus on describing treatment errors and complications that may arise during different phases of the root coverage therapeutic process and on how to prevent and manage them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-marrow penetrations (IMPs) have been performed during guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures with reported clinical benefits. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the use and effect of IMPs during root coverage procedures. METHOD A broad search for human and animal studies was performed on PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials and Web of Science, following a registered review protocol (PROSPERO). All prospective study designs, case series and case reports on gingival recession treatment (follow-up ≥ 6 months) that employed IMPs were included. Root coverage, complete root coverage prevalence, and adverse effects were recorded, and risk of bias was assessed. RESULTS Of 16,181 screened titles, 5 articles (all of them human studies) met inclusion criteria. All studies (including two randomized clinical trials) treated Miller class I and II recession defects, using coronally advanced flap with IMPs alone or in conjunction with GTR protocols. Therefore, all treated defects received IMPs and no studies compared protocols with and without IMPs. Outcomes were indirectly compared with existing root coverage literature. Mean root coverage was 2.7 mm and 68.5% at 6.8 months (median: 6 months, range 6-15 months) for sites treated with IMPs. CONCLUSION IMPs are rarely used during root coverage procedures, have not been associated with intra-surgical or wound healing adverse effects and have not been investigated as independent factor. Future clinical studies are needed to directly compare treatment protocols with and without IMPs and investigate the potential benefits of IMPs for root coverage.

Abstract
Gingival recession (GR), the apical shift of the gingival margin, results in root surface exposure. Its etiology is multifactorial, including teeth position within the dental arch, bony dehiscence, alveolar mucosa thickness, incorrect toothbrushing, orthodontic treatment, and periodontal disease. Coronally advanced flap (CAF) with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) is the gold standard for managing GR. With the introduction of minimally invasive surgery, various techniques proposed for managing GR minimize patient morbidity and maximize surgical outcomes. The present case report is that of a 26-year-old male patient with the primary complaint of sensitivity in the upper right and left back teeth regions. Emdogain was used with SCTG for managing recession on the left side and with the xenogeneic collagen matrix (Mucograft) to cover recession on the right side. Post-operative healing was uneventful, with significant recession reduction and an increase in the width of the attached gingiva at both sites. GR, apart from posing as an esthetic complication, also results in tooth sensitivity. This makes the management of GR very important for which multiple treatment modalities are available. The current case report highlights the success of the minimally invasive tunneling technique in managing isolated GR.

Long-term comparison of root coverage procedures at single RT2 maxillary gingival recessions: Ten-year extension results from a randomized, controlled clinical trial. J Clin Periodontol 2023; 50:511-519. [PMID: 36644804 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
AIM The purpose of the present study was to assess root coverage outcomes 10 years after connective tissue graft plus coronally advanced flap (CTG + CAF) or CAF alone, at single RT2 maxillary gingival recession. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one of the original 29 patients (11 treated with CAF + CTG and 10 with CAF alone) were available for the 10-year follow-up. A blinded and calibrated examiner performed all the measurements. Outcome measures included complete root coverage (CRC), recession reduction (RecRed), root coverage aesthetic score (RES), and keratinized tissue (KT) gain. A visual analogue scale was used to evaluate patient satisfaction. RESULTS CRC was maintained in 63% of the test group and 20% of the control group after 10 years, with a significant difference favouring CAF + CTG (p = .030). Furthermore, the addition of CTG was associated with greater KT gain (p = .0002) and greater papilla tip recession (p = .023) than with CAF at the last follow-up. No difference was detected regarding RecRed, RES, and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS Adding CTG under CAF improved the probability of maintaining complete root coverage 10 years after single maxillary RT2 recession treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical outcomes of the tunnel technique (TUN) combined with either thin connective tissue graft (CTG) (TUN + thin CTG) (1 mm) or thick CTG (TUN + thick CTG) (2 mm) for the treatment of localized gingival recession (GR). MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve patients, with 24 maxillary localized type RT1 GR were randomly assigned into two groups. Clinical, esthetic, and patient-reported outcomes were evaluated at baseline and at 6-month follow-up. RESULTS The TUN + thin CTG group showed a higher mean GR reduction (1.53 ± 0.66) (primary outcome variable) than the TUN + thick CTG group (1.44 ± 0.89), but no statistically significant difference was detected at the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.77). No statistically significant differences were found between TUN + thin CTG and TUN + thick CTG concerning complete root coverage (CRC) (58.3% versus 41.7%, respectively), gingival ticknness (GT) or Root-coverage Esthetic Score (RES) at 6 months. Regarding patient-reported outcomes, both groups reported having experienced similar pain at 7 days (p > 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between the groups in the analysis of the aesthetic score. CONCLUSION Both treatments showed a similar reduction in GR. In addition, similar CRC, GT, RES, pain and self-reported esthetics were achieved in both groups. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Application of thin CTG provided a similar result than thick CTG for the treatment of RT1 localized GR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and connective tissue graft (CTG) in treating marginal tissue recessions. MATERIALS & METHODS Fifteen patients with isolated bilateral maxillary gingival recessions were recruited for the study, with 30 defects. The defects were classified as Miller's class I/II gingival recession on the canine or premolar region. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, each receiving one of the two treatment techniques (A-PRF or CTG) on a different side of the maxilla in a split-mouth design. Clinical parameters such as recession height (RH), recession width (RW), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), a width of attached gingiva (WAG), and keratinized tissue height (KTH) were evaluated at baseline, 3, and 6 months. Changes in biotype, Recession Esthetic Score (RES), and Visual Analogue Score-Esthetics (VAS-E) were also evaluated at 6 months. TRIAL REGISTRATION Ethics approval number (Helsinki): PHRC/HC/877/21 and registered at the Clinical Trials Registry under the number NCT05267015 Results: At the end of 6 months, there was a statistically significant reduction in RH and RW in both groups, with the mean RC% of 69.2±22.91, and 88.66±33.18 in Groups I and II, respectively. Intergroup analysis showed statistically significant differences in recession parameters between groups at 3 and 6 months, with better outcomes for the CTG group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that A-PRF and CTG effectively manage gingival recession defects. However, CTG resulted in better clinical outcomes in terms of reduction in recession height and width.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) can compromise the integrity to both hard and soft tissues of teeth. This case report introduces a novel interdisciplinary technique by utilizing bioceramics-based cement (BBC) and porcine collagen matrix (CM) to reconstruct the dentogingival complex where enamel, dentin, and soft tissues were involved. CASE PRESENTATION A 38-year-old healthy male was referred to the periodontics department for gingival recessions teeth #27-29 and a deep (NCCL) on the facial (F) #28 involving the loss of the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). The F #28 was restored with BBC according to manufacturing instructions. Soft tissues of #27-29 were simultaneously augmented with two CM strips via a coronally advanced tunnel utilizing suspended sutures. At the 6-month follow-up, approximately 100% root coverages were obtained for #27 and 29. The F #28 gingival tissue stabilized at the anticipated level of maximum root coverage (MRC), 1 mm apical to the coronally displaced CEJ. The exposed layer of BBC, F #28, was veneered with resin-modified glass ionomer to re-establish the original position of the CEJ. At the one-year follow-up visit root coverage for #28 remained stable and probing depths remained unchanged at 2 mm F #27-29. A sectional cone beam computed tomography scan illustrated the BBC restoration remained intact and well adapted. CONCLUSION The 12-month follow-up illustrated that the BBC may be a viable restorable material while performing simultaneous gingival grafting with CM in deep NCCLs with gingival recessions. KEY POINTS Why is this case new information? A novel approach treating the deep non-carious cervical lesion with BBC and CM. What are the keys to successful management of this case? The BBC placement needs to be flat. Secure the surgical site with non-resorbable suspensory sutures fixed by flowable composite. What are the primary limitations to success in this case? The primary limitation to success is the blood moisture control which may limit the placement of collagen matrix strips via the portal entry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to compare and evaluate the clinical effects of concentrated growth factor (CGF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) applied together with coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique using a microsurgical approach in the treatment of type I multiple gingival recessions (GR). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with multiple recession defects (Cairo type I) were included in this randomized and controlled study. Forty-five gingival recession defects were randomly equally divided into three groups (n = 15): CAF + CGF (test site); CAF + A-PRF (test site), and CAF alone (control site). Clinical attachment level (CAL), vertical gingival recession (VGR), horizontal gingival recession (HGR), gingival thickness (GT), width of keratinized gingiva (KGW), percentages of the mean (MRC), and complete root coverage (CRC), patient esthetic score (PES), and hypersensitivity score (HS) were recorded at baseline and 6 months after surgery. Patient comfort score (PCS) was evaluated at the day of surgery. RESULTS Significant improvements were determined in CAL, VGR, HGR, KGW, and GT at 6 months when compared to baseline levels in intra-group comparisons for all groups, and also GT was increased in CAF + A-PRF and CAF + CGF compared to CAF alone at 6 months in intergroup comparisons (p < 0.05). At 6 months, MRC was detected 85.66 ± 22.68% in the CAF + CGF, 90.88 ± 20.87% in the CAF + A-PRF, and 75.10 ± 32,37% in the CAF alone, and a significant increase was detected in the CAF + A-PRF group compared to CAF alone (p < 0.05). CRC in CAF + CGF was 66.66%, in CAF + A-PRF 80% and in CAF alone was 53.33% (p > 0.05). PES and HS values showed significant improvement from baseline to 6 months for all groups and also in CAF + CGF and CAF + A-PRF compared to CAF alone at 6 months in intergroup comparisons (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that the use of A-PRF and CGF membranes in GR therapy may have an additional benefit in GT increase and also A-PRF may increase the percentages of MRC. The use of A-PRF and CGF membranes may be beneficial in terms of improving patient-related parameters. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A-PRF and CGF may be superior to CAF alone in terms of patient-related parameters and GT increase in multiple recession defects.

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgical procedures aim at optimal wound healing, a reduction of postoperative morbidity and, thus, at increased patient satisfaction. The present article reviews the concept of minimal invasiveness in gingival augmentation and root coverage procedures, and critically discusses the influencing factors, technical and nontechnical ones, and relates them to the underlying biological mechanisms. Furthermore, the corresponding outcomes of the respective procedures are assessed and evaluated in relation to a possible impact of a minimized surgical invasiveness on the clinical, aesthetic, and patient-related results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and patient-reported outcomes following surgical root coverage at RT1 gingival recession defects at mandibular incisors, using either a conventional free gingival graft (FGG) or a modified FGG (ModFGG). METHODS Total of 30 patients with RT1 gingival recessions at mandibular incisors were enrolled and randomly allocated to either a control (FGG) or test group (ModFGG). Evaluations of clinical changes (recession depth, height of keratinized tissue) and patient satisfaction were performed over a follow-up period of 12 months. Post-surgical changes of keratinized tissue height (shrinkage) were assessed from 1 month and onward. RESULTS ModFGG resulted in more pronounced root coverage at 1 year compared to FGG (91.8% vs. 60.7%, p < 0.001). Height of keratinized tissue was improved by 4.2 and 2.2 mm (p < 0.001), respectively, with significantly less shrinkage in ModFGG. Post-surgical morbidity was significantly lower for ModFGG at 2 weeks and patient satisfaction was significantly higher 12 months after treatment (9.1 vs. 5.4; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS ModFGG represents a valid approach for the management of RT1 recession defects at mandibular incisors. The technique is superior to traditional FGG in terms of root coverage, the gain of keratinized tissue height, and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the 5-year results of single and multiple recession type (RT) 1 and 2 (Miller I to III) recessions treated with the modified coronally advanced tunnel (MCAT) and connective tissue graft (CTG) with or without an enamel matrix derivative (EMD). The main outcome variable was the stability of obtained root coverage from 6 months to 5 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 24 patients, both complete and mean root coverage (CRC and MRC) and gain of keratinised tissue (KT) were assessed at 6 months and 5 years after recession coverage by means of MCAT and CTG with or without EMD. Aesthetic outcomes after 5 years were evaluated using the root coverage aesthetic score (RES). RESULTS At 5 years, 24 patients with a total of 43 recessions were evaluated. Eight patients (57.14%) of the test and 6 (60.0%) of the control group showed complete root coverage. MRC revealed no statistically significant differences between the two groups, with 73.87 ± 26.83% (test) and 75.04 ± 22.06% (control), respectively. KT increased from 1.14 ± 0.57 mm to 3.07 ± 2.27 mm in the test group and from 1.24 ± 0.92 mm to 3.02 ± 1.55 mm in the control group, respectively. CONCLUSION Treatment of single and multiple RT 1 and 2 recessions by means of MCAT and CTG with or without EMD yielded comparable clinical improvements which could be maintained over a period of 5 years. The additional use of EMD did not influence the clinical outcomes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of MCAT + CTG yielded successful coverage of single and multiple RT 1 and 2 gingival recessions, while the additional application of EMD did not seem to influence the results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial restoration combined with periodontal root coverage surgery can be applied to the treatment of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) accompanied with gingival recessions in clinical practice. However, the feasibility of NCCL partial restorative treatment from a biomechanical perspective remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial restorations on stress distributions in the NCCLs of mandibular first premolars via three-dimensional finite element analysis. METHODS Three-dimensional finite element models of buccal wedge-shaped NCCLs in various locations of a defected zenith (0 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm) were constructed and divided into three groups (A, B, and C). Three partially restored NCCL models with different locations of the lower restoration border (1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm), and one completely restored NCCL model were further constructed for each group. The following restorative materials were used in all restoration models: composite resin (CR), glass-ionomer cement (GIC), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The first principal stress distributions under buccal oblique loads of 100 N were analyzed. Restoration bond failures were also evaluated based on stress distributions at dentin-restoration interfaces. RESULTS When the partial restoration fully covered the defected zenith, the first principal stress around the zenith decreased and the maximum tensile stress was concentrated at the lower restoration border. When the partial restoration did not cover the defected zenith, the first principal stress distribution patterns were similar to those in unrestored models, with the maximum tensile stress remaining concentrated at the zenith. As the elastic modulus of the restorative material was altered, the stress distributions at the interface were not obviously changed. Restoration bond failures were not observed in CR, but occurred in GIC and MTA in most models. CONCLUSIONS Partial restorations that fully covered defected zeniths improved the stress distributions in NCCLs, while the stress distributions were unchanged or worsened under other circumstances. CR was the optimal material for partial restorations compared to GIC and MTA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In adult patients with thin phenotype, gingival recession is obvious in the mandibular incisors after a large amount of lingual tooth movement. A systematic review indicated that soft tissue augmentation before orthodontic treatment might yield satisfactory results with respect to the progression of gingival recession. However, the studies included had a low-to-moderate level of evidence. This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of soft tissue augmentation prior to orthodontic treatment on the prevention of gingival recession. METHOD AND ANALYSIS This is a single-centre, single-blind, randomised controlled, double-armed parallel group comparison trial. This study was initiated in December 2021 and end in December 2025 (anticipated). Patients with mild crowding in the lower arch and a thin gingival type was enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either group A (having soft tissue augmentation prior to orthodontic treatment) or group B (having orthodontic treatment only). The planned number of enrolled patients was 48 (24 patients × 2 groups). The primary endpoint was the mean change in recession of the gingival margin. Secondary endpoints included the probing depth, gingival phenotype, frequency of complete root coverage, gingival thickness, width of the keratinised gingiva, clinical attachment level, gingival recession class, full-mouth plaque score, alveolar bone thickness in the faciolingual dimension of the lower anterior teeth and lower incisor inclination. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Shanghai Stomatological Hospital (certificate number (2021)016). The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, the Clinical Trials Act and other current legal regulations in China. Written informed consent was obtained from all the participants. The results of this study will be reported in journal publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2100050892.

Efficacy of biologics in root coverage and gingival augmentation therapy: An American Academy of Periodontology best evidence systematic review and network meta-analysis. J Periodontol 2022; 93:1771-1802. [PMID: 36279123 DOI: 10.1002/jper.22-0075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review was to assess the efficacy of three biologics, namely autologous blood-derived products (ABPs), enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) and recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor BB (rhPDGF-BB), in root coverage and gingival augmentation therapy. METHODS The protocol of this PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021285917). After study selection, data of interest were extracted. A network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted to assess the effect of different surgical interventions on the main clinical outcomes of interest (i.e., mean root coverage [MRC%], complete root coverage [CRC%], keratinized tissue width [KTW], gingival thickness [GT] change, and recession depth [RD] reduction). RESULTS A total of 48 trials reported in 55 articles were selected. All studies reported on the treatment of gingival recession defects for root coverage purposes. Forty-six treatment arms from 24 trials were included in the NMA. These arms consisted of treatment with coronally advanced flap (CAF) alone, EMD + CAF, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) + CAF, and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) + CAF. Regarding MRC%, SCTG+CAF was associated with a significant higher estimate (13.41%, 95% CI [8.06-18.75], P < 0.01), while EMD+CAF (6.68%, 95% CI [-0.03 to 13.4], P = 0.061) and PRF+CAF (1.03%, 95% CI [-5.65 to 7.72], P = 0.71) failed to show statistically significant differences compared with CAF alone (control group) or with each other. Similarly, only SCTG+CAF led to a significantly higher CRC% (14.41%, 95% CI [4.21 to 24.61], P < 0.01), while treatment arms EMD + CAF (13.48%, 95% CI [-3.34 to 30.32], P = 0.11) and PRF+CAF (-0.91%, 95% CI [-15.38, 13.57], p = 0.81) did not show significant differences compared with CAF alone or with each other. Differences in the CI of PRF+CAF (symmetrical around a zero adjunctive effect) and EMD+CAF (non-symmetrical) suggest that EMD could have some additional value compared with PRF. Treatment with SCTG+CAF led to a statistically significant higher RD reduction (-0.39 mm, 95% CI [-0.55 to 0.22], P < 0.01), however EMD+CAF (-0.13 mm, 95% CI [-0.29 to 0.01], P = 0.08) and PRF+CAF (-0.06 mm, 95% CI [-0.23 to 0.09], P = 0.39) failed to show significant differences compared with CAF or with each other. While SCTG+CAF was associated with a statistically significant higher gain of KTW (0.71 mm, 95% CI [0.48 to 0.93], P < 0.01), EMD+CAF (0.24 mm, 95% CI [-0.02 to 0.51], P = 0.08) and PRF+CAF (0.08 mm, 95% CI [-0.23 to 0.41], P = 0.58) did not result into significant changes compared with CAF alone or with each other. Regarding the use of rhPDGF-BB+CAF, although available studies have reported equivalent results compared with SCTG+CAF, evidence is very limited. CONCLUSIONS The use of ABPs, EMD, or rhPDGF-BB in conjunction with a CAF for root coverage purposes is safe and generally promotes significant improvements respective to baseline clinical parameters. However, the adjunctive use of ABPs and EMD does not provide substantial additional improvements in terms of clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures to those achieved using CAF alone, when baseline KTW is >2 mm. Both PRF+CAF and EMD+CAF rendered inferior MRC%, CRC%, RD reduction, and KTW gain compared with SCTG+CAF, which should still be considered the gold-standard in root coverage therapy. Although some studies have reported equivalent results for rhPDGF-BB+CAF compared with the gold-standard intervention, limited evidence precludes formal comparisons with CAF or SCTG+CAF that could be extrapolated to guide clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucogingival deformities are prevalent oral conditions and can result in esthetic compromise, dentinal hypersensitivity, and an increase in radicular caries rates. Mucogingival treatments address thin periodontal phenotype and/or gingival recession defects. Although many of these grafting procedures are predictable in improving soft-tissue quality and quantity around teeth and dental implants, patients often complain of discomfort at both the donor and recipient sites. Free gingival grafts and coronally advanced flaps alone or in combination with subepithelial connective tissue graft and/or acellular dermal matrix are among the most common surgical procedures employed to achieve root coverage and enhance periodontal phenotype. Autologous blood products (ABPs) contain platelets, growth factors, leukocytes, and stem cells that contribute to cell mitosis, collagen production, and angiogenesis, leading to the healing and regeneration of hard and soft tissue. Evaluation of the adjunctive role of ABPs in mucogingival surgery and their impacts on clinical and patient-centered data is critical to achieve optimal patient-reported outcome measures based upon the current scientific evidence. METHODS We present exemplar cases in which adjunctive ABPs were utilized in mucogingival treatment to enhance treatment outcomes. RESULTS No adverse events were noted. Satisfactory treatment outcomes were achieved in patients with local and/or systemic compromise when mucogingival therapies were used in combination with ABPs. CONCLUSIONS Adjunctive use of ABPs may enhance outcomes of mucogingival therapy. Utilization of adjunctive ABPs may be particularly advantageous in situations where the predictability of clinical and esthetic outcomes is limited due to anatomical and/or patient factors.

J Periodontol 2022; 93:1857-1866. [PMID: 35482935 DOI: 10.1002/jper.21-0638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of vestibular depth (VD) on the outcomes of root coverage therapy. METHODS Patients presenting gingival recession defects (GRD) with a minimum depth of 2 mm underwent root coverage therapy consisting of a coronally advanced flap plus a connective tissue graft (CAF + CTG). Clinical examinations were performed, and intraoral scans were obtained at baseline, 3 and 6 months after surgery to assess changes in probing depth (PD), keratinized tissue width (KTW), recession depth (RD), GRD area, marginal gingival thickness (MGT), and VD. The influence of VD on percentage of root coverage (%RC) and the likelihood of achieving complete root coverage (CRC) were explored. RESULTS A total of 20 patients were enrolled, and 44 teeth were treated. RD decreased and MGT increased in all treated sites. At 6 months, mean %RC was 87.47 ± 18.37 and CRC was observed in 61.4% of sites. Mean baseline VD was 7.33 ± 2.67 mm. Mean VD reduction from baseline to 6 months was 1.98 ± 1.27 mm. %RC and CRC were significantly correlated with baseline VD. Each additional 1 mm of baseline VD implied a gain of 6.58% for %RC and increased 2.75 times the probability of achieving CRC. Narrow baseline KTW and mandibular arch location were associated with inferior treatment outcomes. CONCLUSION Lower %RC and likelihood of achieving CRC can be expected after root coverage therapy via CAF + CTG in sites presenting a shallow vestibulum.

Abstract
AIM To compare clinical and histological keratinized tissue formation around teeth and implants following coronal repositioning of alveolar mucosa with or without a connective tissue graft (CTG). MATERIALS AND METHODS In nine beagle dogs, the third and fourth premolars (P3 and P4) were extracted from one side of the maxilla. Three months after the tooth extraction, a full-thickness buccal flap was raised and two implants were placed in those healed areas. On the contra-lateral side, a buccal flap was also raised at the P3 and P4 areas. Before suturing, the dogs were randomly assigned to three study groups (control, non-keratinized tissue [NKT], and non-keratinized tissue CTG [NKT-CTG]). In the control group, the buccal flaps were re-positioned around the teeth (P3 and P4) on one side, and implants on the other side, presenting an adequate band of keratinized tissue (KT). For the NKT and NKT-CTG groups, this buccal KT was then excised. In the NKT group, the buccal flap without KT (alveolar mucosa) was re-positioned around the teeth and implants. In the NKT-CTG group, a CTG taken from the excised KT was sutured to the buccal alveolar mucosa and then both were re-positioned around the teeth and implants. The clinical height of the KT was measured at baseline and at 1, 2, and 3 months of healing. The animals were sacrificed at 3 months, at which point the KT height was measured histologically. RESULTS The control group presented normal healing with a band of KT surrounding the teeth and implants. In the NKT and NKT-CTG groups, a new KT band approximately 2 mm in height (measured clinically and histologically) spontaneously formed around all teeth, regardless of whether a CTG had been placed. In the NKT implant group, no new KT was observed (clinically or histologically). Around the implants in the NKT-CTG group, a small amount of KT was formed in just two of the six implants. CONCLUSIONS After surgical excision of KT, spontaneous KT is formed around teeth but not around implants, regardless of the placement of a CTG.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF)-BB combined with a cross-linked collagen matrix (CCM) for the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recession type 1 defects (MAGRs) in combination with the coronally advanced flap (CAF). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients were enrolled in this triple-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial and treated with either CAF + CCM + rhPDGF, or CAF + CCM + saline. The primary outcome was mean root coverage (mRC) at 6 months. Complete root coverage, gain in gingival thickness (GT), keratinized tissue width, volumetric and ultrasonographic changes, and patient-reported outcome measures were also assessed. Mixed-modelling regression analyses were used for statistical comparisons. RESULTS At 6 months, the mRC of the CCM + rhPDGF and CCM alone groups were 88.25% and 77.72%, respectively (p = .02). A significant gain in GT was consistently observed for both treatment arms, and more so for the patients receiving the matrix containing rhPDGF through time (0.51 vs. 0.80 mm, on average, p = .01). The rhPDGF + CCM treated patients presented greater volume gain, higher soft tissue thickness, and a superior aesthetic score. CONCLUSION rhPDGF enhances the clinical, volumetric, and aesthetic outcomes of MAGRs above the results achieved with CAF + CCM alone (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04462237).

Abstract
Gingival recession is a mucogingival defect defined as the apical shifting of the gingival margin in relation to the CEJ. The use of connective tissue autografts allows for the obtention of very satisfactory results but is associated with undoubted disadvantages. The aim of the present work is to carry out a systematic review of the literature using a meta-analysis to investigate the clinical efficacy of xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) in the treatment of gingival recessions. This revision was carried out strictly following the guidelines published in the Cochrane Handbook. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to calculate relative risks and standardized mean differences for each of the variables considered. The results of the meta-analysis show that CAF + CTG was statistically better than CAF + XCM in almost all the variables analyzed: complete root coverage (RR 0.46), mean root coverage (SMD −0.89), recession reduction (SMD −0.98), clinical attachment level (SMD −0.63) and gingival thickness (SMD −1.68). Meanwhile, CAF + XCM was slightly better than CAF alone in regard to: mean root coverage (SMD 0.51), recession reduction (SMD 0.47) and gingival thickness (SMD 0.56). It is possible to conclude that CAF + CTG still remains the gold standard in radicular coverage.

Abstract
PURPOSE Coronally advanced split-or full-thickness (CAST or CAFT) flaps in combination with subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTGs) are commonly used in root-coverage procedures despite postoperative pain and bleeding from the graft donor site. Therefore, the modified vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access procedure (VISTAX) uses a novel collagen matrix (VCMX) instead of autogenous tissue to address the limitations associated with autogenous tissue grafting. This retrospective study compared the clinical outcomes of VISTAX to the results obtained after using a CAST or CAFT flap in combination with SCTG for root coverage. METHODS Patients with single or multiple adjacent recession I/II defects were included, with 10 subjects each in the VISTAX, CAFT, and CAST groups. Defect coverage, keratinized tissue width, esthetic scores, and patients' perceived pain and dentinal hypersensitivity (visual analogue scale [VAS]) were assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. RESULTS All surgical techniques significantly reduced gingival recession (P<0.0001). Defect coverage, esthetic appearance, and the reduction in dentinal hypersensitivity were comparable. However, the VAS scores for pain were significantly lower in the VISTAX group than in the CAFT and CAST groups, which had similar scores (P<0.05). Furthermore, the clinical results of VISTAX and CAFT/CAST generally remained stable at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS The clinical outcomes of VISTAX, CAFT, and CAST were comparable. However, patients perceived significantly less pain after VISTAX, indicating a potentially higher patient acceptance of the procedure. A prospective trial with a longer follow-up period and a larger sample size should therefore evaluate VISTAX further.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Collagen membrane and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) have emerged as vital biomaterials in the field of periodontal regeneration. Minimally invasive techniques are being preferred by most periodontists, as it is patient compliant with fewer post-surgical complications as compared to conventional surgical techniques. Thus, in this study we have evaluated the effect of injectable PRF (i-PRF) with collagen membrane compared with collagen membrane alone using vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique for gingival recession coverage.
AIM To compare the efficacy of VISTA using collagen membrane with collagen membrane soaked in injectable PRF for gingival recession coverage.
METHODS A split mouth randomized controlled clinical trial was designed;13 subjects having at least 2 teeth indicated for recession coverage were enrolled in this study. The sites were randomly assigned to control group (VISTA using collagen membrane alone) and the test group (VISTA using collagen membrane with i-PRF). The clinical parameters assessed were pocket depth, recession depth (RD), recession width (RW), relative attachment level, keratinised tissue width (KTW), keratinised tissue thickness (KTT), and percentage root coverage.
RESULTS RD showed a statistically significant difference between the test group at 3 mo (0.5 ± 0.513) and 6 mo (0.9 ± 0.641) and the control group at 3 mo (0.95 ± 0.51) and 6 mo (1.5 ± 0.571), with P values of 0.008 and 0.04, respectively. RW also showed a statistically significant difference between the test group at 3 mo (1 ± 1.026) and 6 mo (1.65 ± 1.04) and the control group at 3 mo (1.85 ± 0.875) and 6 mo (2.25 ± 0.759), with P values of 0.008 and 0.001, respectively. Results for KTW showed statistically significant results between the test group at 1 mo (2.85 ± 0.489), 3 mo (3.5 ± 0.513), and 6 mo (3.4 ± 0.598) and the control group at 1 mo (2.45 ± 0.605), 3 mo (2.9 ± 0.447), and 6 mo (2.75 ± 0.444), with P values of 0.04, 0.004, and 0.003, respectively. Results for KTT also showed statistically significant results between test group at 1 mo (2.69 ± 0.233), 3 mo (2.53 ± 0.212), and 6 mo (2.46 ± 0.252) and the control group at 1 mo (2.12 ± 0.193), 3 mo (2.02 ± 0.18), and 6 mo (1.91 ± 0.166), with P values of 0.001, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively. The test group showed 91.6%, 81.6%, and 67% root coverage at 1 mo, 3 mo, and 6 mo, while the control group showed 82.3%, 66.4%, and 53.95% of root coverage at 1 mo, 3 mo, and 6 mo, respectively.
CONCLUSION The use of minimally invasive VISTA technique along with collagen membrane and injectable form of platelet-rich fibrin can be successfully used as a treatment method for multiple or isolated gingival recessions of Miller’s class-I and class-II defects.

Unusual complications at the recipient site following periodontal plastic surgery procedures: a systematic review. Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:5595-5609. [PMID: 35809115 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04596-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify and describe unusual soft tissue complications of periodontal plastic surgery procedures at the recipient site after periodontal grafts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two independent reviewers performed a comprehensive search in MEDLINE, Cochrane, periodontics journals, reference lists, and grey literature for articles dated up to July 2021. Publications related to surgical interventions only around the teeth with an unusual complication at the recipient site were selected. No restrictions were made in the number of cases, follow-up period, or language. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias, the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and two validated case report/series checklists were used to critically appraise the studies. RESULTS A total of 1434 articles were examined, of which 28 met the inclusion criteria: one RCT, two cohort studies, and twenty-five case reports/series. The periodontal plastic surgery procedures described in these articles were conducted to treat lack of attached gingiva and gingival recessions. The following unusual complications were found: bone exostosis, epithelial inclusion, root resorption, abscess, overgrowth, "liver clot" formation, and oroantral communication. CONCLUSION Bone exostosis and epithelial inclusions were the most prevalent unusual complications following treatment with subepithelial connective tissue graft, free gingival graft, and acellular dermal matrix allograft. Due to the nature of the reports, the clinical recommendations for diagnosis and treatment cannot be homogenized. Clinical studies reporting complications are required to develop management protocols (PROSPERO CRD42021230875). CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians need to know the main complications that can occur in mucogingival surgeries as well as their clinical management to provide a successful and predictable treatment.

Abstract
Aim To assess the prognostic value of soft tissue phenotype modification following root coverage procedures for predicting the long‐term (10‐year) behaviour of the gingival margin. Materials and Methods Participants from six randomized clinical trials on root coverage procedures at the University of Michigan were re‐invited for a longitudinal evaluation. Clinical measurements were obtained by two calibrated examiners. A data‐driven approach to model selection with Akaike information criterion (AIC) was carried out via multilevel regression analyses and partial regression plotting for changes in the level of the gingival margin over time and interactions with the early (6‐month) results of soft tissue phenotypic modification. Results One‐hundred and fifty‐seven treated sites in 83 patients were re‐assessed at the long‐term recall. AIC‐driven model selection and regression analyses demonstrated that 6‐month keratinized tissue width (KTW) and gingival thickness (GT) influenced the trajectory of the gingival margin similarly in a concave manner; however, GT was the driving determinant that predicted significantly less relapse in the treatments, with stability of the treated gingival margin obtained beyond values of 1.46 mm. Conclusions Among a compliant patient cohort, irrespective of the rendered therapy, the presence of at least 1.5 mm KTW and 1.46 mm GT was correlated with the long‐term stability of the gingival margin.

Modified coronally advanced tunnel versus epithelialized free gingival graft technique in gingival phenotype modification: a comparative randomized controlled clinical trial. Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:6283-6293. [PMID: 35708779 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04580-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The gingival thickness (GT) and keratinized tissue (KT) height are defined as the gingival phenotype. Both the modified coronally advanced tunnel technique (MCAT) and free gingival grafts (FGG) are used in modifying the gingival phenotype. This study aims to compare MCAT and FGG in gingival phenotype modification. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and forty recessions in 50 patients with thin and insufficient keratinized tissue at the anterior mandible were treated with either MCAT or FGG. GT, KT height, recession depth, recession width, probing depth, and clinical attachment level were evaluated at baseline and 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months. GT change, KT change, root coverage (RC), clinical attachment gain, and complete root coverage (CRC) were calculated. The wound healing index, tissue appearance, patient expectations, aesthetic, and dentin hypersensitivity were assessed at baseline and 6 months. RESULTS All periodontal variables showed significant change from baseline to 12 months in both groups (p < 0.05). While FGG resulted in more KT change (p < 0.001), all MCAT sites showed at least 2 mm KT change in 12 months. MCAT resulted in greater GT change (p < 0.05) and RC (p < 0.003). In contrast, there was no significant inter-group CRC difference (p = 0.523). All patient-based variables were favorable to MCAT (p < 0.05), except dentin hypersensitivity (p = 0.225). CONCLUSIONS Both techniques were successful in terms of gingival phenotype modification in the anterior mandible. Additional GT increase, RC, and patient-based outcomes favored MCAT, though KT change proved greater with FGG. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians may choose MCAT for higher GT increase whereas FGG for more KTC. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04690140 and date: 12/26/2020.

[PMID: 35670134 DOI: 10.1111/jerd.12936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Revised: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES There are few studies comparing xenogeneic acellular dermal matrixes (XDMs) with connective tissue graft (CTG) to treat single gingival recession (GR). The present study involved a reanalysis of previous studies and comparison of CTG or XDM to treat single RT1/GR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty patients from three previous randomized clinical trials treated either by CTG (n = 25) or XDM (n = 25) were evaluated after 6-month. Clinical, patient-centered, and esthetic parameters were assessed. Pearson's correlation and regression analyses were also performed. RESULTS Greater recession reduction (RecRed), percentage of root coverage (%RC), and complete root coverage (CRC) were observed in the CTG group (p ≤ 0.02). Gingival thickness (GT) and keratinized tissue width (KTW) gains were higher in the CTG group. The CTG group showed better esthetic at 6-month. Logistic analyses reported that GT([OR] = 1.6473 ) and papilla height (PH) (OR = 8.20) are predictors of CRC. GT*XDM interaction was a negative predictor of CRC (OR = 7.105-5 ). GT at baseline acted as a predictor of RecRed in both groups (p = 0.03). The XDM graft impacted RecRed and %RC negatively. Baseline PH was a predictor of %RC for both grafts. CONCLUSION CTG was superior for treating RT1/GR, providing better root coverage outcomes and tissue gains over time. GT, PH, and graft type were classified as predictors of CRC. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE CTG presented better outcomes to treat single RT1 gingival recession when compared to the XDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of a bilaminar root coverage technique consisting of the combination of an autogenous subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and a coronally advanced flap (CAF) compared to the five most indicated alternative approaches for the treatment of single gingival recession defects (GRD). METHODS The protocol of this PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020221362). Three electronic databases were searched up to September 30th , 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials that involved the treatment of single GRD without interproximal tissue loss via root coverage procedures. A frequentist network meta-analysis was conducted for complete root coverage (CRC), mean root coverage (MRC) and keratinized tissue width (KTW) changes. RESULTS A total of 38 studies reporting on 830 patients and 1,265 GRD were included. SCTG+CAF was ranked as the most efficient treatment approach for MRC, CRC and KTW gain at 6 and 12 months after surgery, except for MRC at the 12-month follow-up where enamel matrix derivative (EMD) plus CAF exhibited superior results. CONCLUSIONS SCTG+CAF can be considered the gold standard for the treatment of single GRD. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Gingival recessions are a prevalent oral mucosa alteration. To solve this pathology, palatal mucosa or polymeric soft tissue substitutes are used when performing coronal advanced flap (CAF) or tunnel (TUN) surgical techniques. To evaluate which is the most successful approach, a literature review and meta-analysis were conducted. For the electronic search the National Library of Medicine, the Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register, EMBASE and WOS were used. Pooled data for the percentage of root coverage was collected and weighted means were calculated. Heterogeneity was determined using the Higgins (I2) statistic and a random-effects model was applied. Thirteen studies were included in the systematic review (12 randomized and 1 controlled clinical trials) in which both techniques (394 patients) were compared with a follow-up of 4 to 12 months. Galbraith and Baujat plots were used to control for the presence of potential outliers. After performing the meta-analysis (11 studies), the mean root coverage was similar when using the TUN or CAF techniques (p = 0.49). The only differences between the two were found for single recessions, where CAF offered a higher percentage of root coverage (mean difference = 4.98%; p = 0.006). There were no differences when applying an autograft or a polymeric substitute with either of the two tested surgical techniques (p = 0.445).

Abstract
Background:
The treatment modality of using gingival veneer prosthesis for anterior gingival recession is not widely known even in the dental fraternity. This survey has been conducted considering its essential nature and absence of data on its awareness in the Riyadh region.
Aims:
The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge, awareness, and practice of gingival veneer prosthesis among dental students, interns, and practitioners in the Riyadh region.
Materials and Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional electronic survey was conducted on dental students, interns, and practitioners of both genders in Saudi Arabia, using a convenient sampling method. The final questionnaire consisted of 12 questions. The percentage of various responses, with reference to the demographics, and statistical significance, were tested by independent sample t-test and p-value <0.05. The responses/data of 446 participants were tabulated and processed in SPSS (version 21.0).
Results:
The preferred treatment option for an anterior gingival recession proposed by prosthodontists was prosthetic correction (p<0.05), and for other groups, it was periodontal surgery (p<0.05). 66% of general practitioners’ group and 56% of dental students and interns’ group, respectively, were not sure about the ideal treatment option for Miller’s class III & IV gingival defects, while 70% of general practitioners’ group and 65% of the students and interns’ group, respectively, were not sure about the ideal treatment option for the management of gingival tissue loss between implants,.
Conclusion:
There is a significant lack of knowledge on using gingival veneer prosthesis as a treatment option for anterior gingival defects among general dental practitioners, interns, and dental students (p˂0.05).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of soft tissue augmentation procedures for complete coverage and mean coverage of buccal soft tissue dehiscence (BSTD) in patients with implant-supported restorations. METHODS Three databases were surveyed for randomized (RCTs), non-randomized controlled clinical trials (CCTs), cohort studies, case-control studies, and case series with a minimum of five patients per control or test group. Studies dealing with soft tissue augmentation procedures to cover BSTD-occurring during implant function and not due to the result of peri-implantitis-were included. Risk of bias was evaluated with RoB 2 or the National Institutes of Health's Quality Assessment. Whenever possible exploratory meta-analyses were performed to evaluate weighted mean effects (WME) for the different outcomes. The primary outcomes were percentage of complete coverage and mean coverage of BSTD. RESULTS Seven articles were included. Only one study was a RCT, with a high risk of bias. Meta-analyses showed that after 1 year (2 studies, n = 36 patients; WME = 70; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 50; 90; p = 0.23) as well as after 5 years (3 studies, n = 54 patients; WME = 70; 95%; CI = 60; 80; p = 0.44), complete coverage of BSTD could be achieved in 70% of the cases. CONCLUSION Based on limited evidence it can be concluded that BSTD can be substantially reduced with the use of soft tissue augmentation procedures. Further research with comparative trials using larger samples and longer follow-up periods is needed to study the stability of soft tissues in the long term.

Abstract
Gingival recessions are widely prevalent deformities that affect the normal position of the gingiva and cause exposure of the tooth root, and are often associated with unsatisfactory aesthetics and dentin hypersensitivity. The double papilla technique for root covering is a periodontal plastic surgery technique recommended for the treatment of gingival recessions. In this case report, we show the clinical results after a 12-month follow-up of a root-covering procedure in an upper canine affected by a gingival recession. A 56-year-old patient presenting a Cairo type I gingival recession on the vestibular surface of tooth 23 was treated with a one-stage surgical procedure, carried out using the double papilla technique in combination with a partially epithelialized connective tissue graft, reaching 100% root coverage. After a 12-month follow-up, this technique showed highly successful results both in 100% coverage of the defect and in long-term stability and aesthetics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gingival recession is one of the most common mucogingival deformities requiring surgical correction. The American Academy of Periodontology Regeneration Workshop recommended connective tissue graft (CTG) combined with coronally advanced flap (CAF) for the treatment of Miller Class I and II single-tooth gingival recession. The disadvantages of harvesting autogenous tissue include postoperative bleeding, pain and discomfort at the donor site, restricted tissue supply, increased morbidity and prolonged operative times. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) contains undamaged collagen and elastin matrices that can be used as a substitute for CTG during root coverage procedures. However, the use of ADM is still controversial. The objective of this split-mouth; randomised, controlled, clinical study is to evaluate the long-term effects of ADM graft (ADMG) combined with CAF on root coverage, aesthetics and patient satisfaction for the treatment of single gingival recession with thin gingival phenotype. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Forty participants with bilateral Miller Class I/II gingival recession will be randomised to receive an ADMG on one side and CTG on the contralateral side, combined with CAF. Gingival recession depth, gingival recession width and keratinised tissue width will be measured at baseline, 2 weeks and 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. Mean root coverage, complete root coverage, root coverage aesthetic score, colour change (∆E) and patient satisfaction will be assessed during follow-up visits. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The present study has received approval from the Ethics Committee of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology (PKUSSIRB-202054029). Data of this study will be registered with the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Additionally, we will disseminate the results through scientific journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2000033230.

Abstract
The presence of isolated or multiple gingival recessions in the mandibular anterior region is a challenge for the clinician, as they may be associated with a shallow vestibule, high frenum insertion and/or little or no attached gingiva. Only limited evidence is available on the use of the double lateral sliding bridge flap technique with connective tissue graft (CTG) technique for treating gingival recessions in the mandibular anterior region. The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate the clinical and esthetic outcomes of the double lateral sliding bridge flap technique with CTG on isolated and multiple gingival recessions at the level of the mandibular incisors. Nine patients required treatment of gingival recessions in the mandibular incisors at the University of Salamanca (Spain) (seven females, two males; mean age: 27.9 ± 6.9) with a total of 14 isolated (42.9%) and multiple (57.1%) Miller class II and III gingival recessions. After a mean follow-up of 36 months, the mean percentage of root coverage was 80.5% for all treated recessions. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05), were observed for reduction in recession depth, increased width of keratinized tissue and increased gingival thickness, this being dependent on the Miller class. The esthetic outcome was acceptable, with a final mean esthetic score of 7.4 out of 10. The double lateral sliding bridge flap surgical technique with CTG is an effective procedure for the coverage of isolated and multiple gingival recessions in the anterior mandibular region, as it offers satisfactory esthetic results.
