NCT05682274

Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized, parallel-group clinical trial was to compare the 1-year periodontal, root coverage, esthetic, and patient-centered outcomes of the partial restoration placement with different apical margin levels combined with coronally advanced flap (CAF) plus connective tissue graft (CTG) in the treatment of isolated gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). Forty patients with single gingival recessions (RT1 gingival recessions and class B+ NCCL) were randomly allocated to either placement of restoration apical margin at the level of estimated cementoenamel junction (CEJ) or within 1 mm apical to the CEJ. Two weeks after the restorative treatment, all recession defects were treated with CAF combined with CTG. Periodontal measurements were taken at baseline, and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Patient-centered outcomes were evaluated at baseline, and 7, and 15 days, 6, and 12 months postoperative follow-ups. Modified root closure aesthetic score (mRES) was used to assess aesthetics at 6 and 12 months follow-ups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in gingival recession height

    Immediately after reconstruction of CEJ, gingival recession height was measured and accepted as baseline value. This value was obtained by the difference between 12th month gingival recession height and baseline recession height

    12 months after the surgery

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Mean root coverage

    12 months after the surgery

  • Complete root coverage

    12 months after the surgery

  • Modified root closure aesthetic score

    12 months after the surgery

  • Dental sensitivity by visual analogue scale

    12 months after the surgery

  • Self-perceived aesthetic satisfaction by visual analogue scale

    12 months after the surgery

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Group I

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Partial restoration with the apical border at the level of CEJ in combination with CAF+CTG

Procedure: Partial restoration approach combined with CAF+CTG

Group II

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Partial restoration with the apical border within 1 mm apical to the CEJ.

Procedure: Partial restoration approach combined with CAF+CTG

Interventions

The location of the CEJ prior to the restorative treatment was identified using the method developed by Zuchelli et al. 2006. The placement of the apical margin of the restoration was performed either at the level of estimated cementoenamel junction (CEJ) or within 1 mm apical to the CEJ. Two weeks after the restorative treatment, all recession defects were treated with CAF combined with CTG.

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • There is no loss of interdental support (RT-1)
  • Cervical step greater than 0.5 mm
  • Inability to detect CEJ (Class B+)
  • Maximum root closure level at the NCCL's deepest point (Type 3)
  • Individuals who do not have any systemic disease that would preclude surgery
  • Who are not pregnant
  • Who are not smokers or who smoke less than 5 cigarettes per day
  • Who have a whole mouth plaque and bleeding score of 10%
  • Patients who do not require endodontic treatment in the surgical area and do not have tooth mobility;
