NCT06604676

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate patient and operator centered outcomes after connective tissue graft harvesting with a fully digital workflow and compare this approach with a conventional one. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does it differ in patient- and operator-centered outcomes between the conventional and digital workflow?
  • What is the difference in time efficiency between conventional and digital protocols? Researchers will compare digital guided versus conventional technique to choose adequately which protocol to use. Participants will:
  • Receive periodontal surgery to treat gingival recession site
  • Visit the clinic after 2 weeks for suture removal \& filling the survey
  • The time will be recorded during the surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Patient- and operator-centered outcomes will be assessed through visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Primary outcome will be patient- and operator-centered outcome. Patient- and operator-centered outcome will be assessed through visual analogue scale (VAS).

    6 months

  • The questionnaires containing self-developed questions about each phase of the treatment

    The questionnaires containing self-developed questions about each phase of the treatment which will be administered at the end of each phase. The questionnaires will be administered as part of a survey which aimed to obtain information about the dental practices.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The time-efficiency by assessing workflow duration

    6 months

  • The number of appointments needed to complete the procedure
