Clinical and Histological Assessment of Free Gingival Graft or Collagen Matrix for Socket Sealing After Bone Grafting
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this study was to compare, clinical and histologically, the use of the suine collagen matrix (Mucograft Seal [MS], Geisthlich®) and the free gingival graft (FGG) for the alveolar sealing after inserted bone graft biomaterial. It was included 18 patients with tooth referred to extraction (maxilar incisives, canines, or pre-molars) which were randomly divided in 2 groups, according to the material for alveolus sealing: control (FGG) and test (MS). After the minimally traumatic extraction, all the alveoli were filled with bovine mineral matrix (Bio-Oss®), and the material for alveolar sealing were positioned and stabilized with sutures. The follow-up (clinical and photographic) happened on the immediate post-operatory period, and with 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. After 120 days, before implant placement, tissues samples were obtained with a 3.5mm punch scalpel for histological analysis. Qualitative information related to the patient's perception considering the treatment were collected.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Radiographic and clinical analysis [6 months]
Socket preservation with xenograft biomaterial and another one to seal it (FGG or collagen membrane). Radiographic analysis - PA (periapical x-rays) comparing groups and periods of the follow-up. It was performed descriptive comparative analysis. Clinical evaluation - bleeding on probing (dichotomic analysis), ISQ (torque achieved - Osstell), qualitative analysis (questionnaire with 8 questions), and subjective appraisal of the soft tissue healing (according to the period of evaluation).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Histological analysis - Gingiva [6 months]
Gingival thickness obtained from the local tissue was evaluated through histological analysis (optical binocular microscope); assessment of the epithelial and connective layers (micrometers).
