Comparison of Graft Quality and Patient Morbidity Following Palatal Harvesting.

Comparison of Graft Quality and Patient Morbidity Following Four Different Connective Tissue Graft Harvesting Techniques. A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 60 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Milan · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare four different connective tissue graft harvesting technique in terms of graft quality and patient post-operative morbidity

Detailed description

The primary aim is to compare 4 different connective tissue graft harvesting techniques in terms of morbidity and in terms of quality of the graft. The secondary aim is to evaluate the outcome of gingival recessions treated with grafts obtained from different harvesting approaches, in terms of mean root coverage, complete root coverage, keratinized tissue gain, clinical attachment level gain and gingival thickness

Conditions

• Gingival Recession
• Palate; Wound

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	DGG Harvesting approach	An epithelialized graft is harvested from the superficial palate and then extraorally de-epithelialized in order to obtain a connective tissue graft
PROCEDURE	ET harvesting approach	A connective tissue graft is harvested from the palate after reflecting a primary palatal flap
PROCEDURE	TDT harvesting approach	A connective tissue graft is harvested from the palate after reflecting a primary palatal flap
PROCEDURE	MT harvesting approach	An epithelialized graft is harvested from the maxillary tuberosity and then extraorally de-epithelialized in order to obtain a connective tissue graft
PROCEDURE	Root coverage procedure	A single or multiple gingival recession is treated with a coronally advanced flap and a connective tissue graft
