NCT04276129

Brief Summary

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the influence of the post-surgical chlorhexidine indication in the gene expression profile and cellular behavior in the early wound healing process -24 hours after injury- of the oral soft tissues. The main hypothesis is that the post-surgical use of chlorhexidine affects the gene expression and the celular behavior in the early wound healing process of the soft oral tissues.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes from baseline fold regulation wound healing related genes at 24 hours after post-surgical chlorhexidine use.

    Total RNA from biopsies or cell cultures was extracted using TRIzol reagent Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) cDNA was generated and cDNA obtained were used for amplification of wound healing related genes using the appropriate TaqMan gene expression assay kits.

    24 hours after surgery (T24)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical evaluation of early wound healing

    24 hours after surgery (T24)

Study Arms (2)

post-surgical CHX mouth-rinses (treatment group - CHX)

EXPERIMENTAL

periodontal surgery + post-surgical CHX mouth-rinses + buccal attached gingival (G) biopsies 24 hr after surgical procedure

Procedure: periodontal surgery + 24 hr buccal attached gingiva (G) biopsyOther: post-surgical CHX mouth-rinses indication

NO post-surgical mouth-rinses treatment (non treatment group - NT)

OTHER

periodontal surgery + buccal attached gingival (G) biopsies 24 hr after surgical procedure

Procedure: periodontal surgery + 24 hr buccal attached gingiva (G) biopsy

Interventions

Periodontal surgery will be performed and 24 hr after the surgical procedure a 2mm punch biopsy will be harvested at the level of the buccal attache gingiva (G).

NO post-surgical mouth-rinses treatment (non treatment group - NT)post-surgical CHX mouth-rinses (treatment group - CHX)

CHX mouth-rinses (0.12%) will be indicated 2 times/day after the surgical procedure

post-surgical CHX mouth-rinses (treatment group - CHX)
