NCT03197610

Brief Summary

Subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG) are accepted as the gold standard in covering denuded root surfaces. Combining enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) with periodontoplasic surgical operations is another method in covering denuded root surface. The aim of this study is to compare a SCTG operation group and EMD applied group in addition to SCTG using complete root coverage rate and a newer method root coverage esthetic scoring system (RES).

Study Arms (2)

SCTG+EMD

EXPERIMENTAL

TEST GROUP: Langer and Langer technique was used to prepare the recipient side. The vestibule surfaces of adjacent interdental papillae were de-epithelialized. The dimensions of the recipient area were measured by periodontal probes and four bleeding centers were created in the palatinal region. The graft was placed on the recipient site and fixed with 4.0 silk sutures. Pressure was applied to the operation area for 5 minutes with saline impregnated sponges. EMD (Emdogain®, Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) was used in the test group in addition to SCTG. Prior to EMD application, the root surface was applied with 24% EDTA (PrefGel, Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) for 2 minutes. The area was washed with saline and then EMD was applied.

Procedure: enamel matrix derivatives

ONLY SCTG

EXPERIMENTAL

CONTROL GROUP: Langer and Langer technique was used to prepare the recipient side. The anesthetic solution was applied to the donor site in the palatinal region on the same side as the operation site. The dimensions of the recipient area were measured by periodontal probes and four bleeding centers were created in the palatinal region. The graft was placed on the recipient site and fixed with 4.0 silk sutures. Pressure was applied to the operation area for 5 minutes with saline impregnated sponges.

Procedure: enamel matrix derivatives
