Treatment of Gingival Recession Defects Using Platelet-Rich Fibrin With an Allogenic Dermal Matrix
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study aims to test the non-inferiority of an Allogenic Dermal Matrix with Platelet-Rich Fibrin for treatment of gingival recessions in comparison to the Connective Tissue Graft.

Detailed Description
Currently the Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) is referred to as the gold standard in terms of the grafting material for the treatment of gingival recession defects. This study test the non-inferiority of the Allogenic Dermal Matrix (ADM) with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to that of the CTG, in terms of the amount of root coverage obtained after the procedure.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Connective Tissue Graft A connective tissue graft from the patient's palate will be used |
Procedure: Tunneled coronally advanced flap
Describes the flap design for both treatment arms
|
| Experimental: Allogenic Dermal Matrix with Platelet-Rich Fibrin An allogenic dermal matrix with the patient's platelet-rich fibrin will be used |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mean root coverage (mRC) [Assessed at 6 months]
Measured as a percentage of the total baseline recession defect that coverage was obtained at.
- Complete root coverage (CRC) [Assessed at 6 months]
Measured as a percentage of total treated sites, that obtained a full coverage of the recession defect
- Keratinized tissue (KT) gain [Assessed at 6 months]
Measured in mm
- Gingival thickness (GT) gain [Assessed at 6 months]
Measured in mm
- Patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) [Measured from the day of the procedure up to a maximum of 1 month]
In terms of pain/discomfort at the palatal donor site or patient's arm. Measured using a scale from 0 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
- Duration of surgical procedure [During surgery]
Including the length of surgical procedure, drawing of blood, and preparation of PRF, harvesting of the autogenous CTG. Measured in minutes.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Professionally evaluated esthetic score [Assessed at 6 months]
Assessed using the Root coverage Esthetic Score (RES) system (from 0 lowest, to 10 highest)
- Soft tissue volume changes over time [Changes of from baseline (prior to treatment) compared with 3 and 6 months]
Assessed using 3D scanner imaging in the units of mm
- Soft tissue volume changes over time [Measured throughout the study to assess changes from immediate post-op (right after the completion of surgical appointment) until the final recall at 6 months]
Assessed using dental ultrasonography in the units of mm
- Soft tissue blood flow changes over time [Measured throughout the study to assess changes from immediate post-op (right after the completion of surgical appointment) until the final recall at 6 months]
Assessed and quantified using dental ultrasonography
- Patient-reported esthetics [Measured at baseline and at 6 months, and compared between these time points to provide subjective esthetic results]
Based on a visual analogue scale (VAS), measured as numbers from 0 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
- Patient-reported satisfaction [Measured at 6 months to provide the satisfaction score in VAS scale]
Based on a visual analogue scale (VAS), measured as numbers from 0 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
- Patient-reported post-operative pain as measured with a mobile application [From the day of the procedure until 1 month after the surgical time point]
Measured using a mobile application at the recession grafted site, the donor site on the palate, and the donor site for the venopuncture.
