Partial-thickness/Non-advanced vs. Full-thickness/MCAT Tunnelling for the Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions

Partial-thickness/Non-advanced vs. Full-thickness/MCAT Tunnelling for the Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions: a Multi-centre Randomized Clinical Trial

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 34 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Universidad Complutense de Madrid · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: —
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Included patients will be randomly allocated to the test (split-thickness non-advanced tunnel - Zabalegui et al. 1999) or to the control group (full-thickness coronally-advanced tunnel - MCAT - Aroca et al. 2010).

Detailed description

Design: Randomized, clinical, outcome-assessor blinded, multi-centric, superiority trial with two parallel groups and a 1:1 allocation ratio. The follow-up of individual patients will be 6 months (to be extended to 3/5 years if funding will be available) Patients with a minimum of two-adjacent teeth with RT1 and/or RT2 gingival recessions (at least one with a depth \>2 mm) with indication for root coverage treatment will be included. RT2 gingival recessions will be considered not eligible when associated with interproximal exposure of the CEJ. Mean root coverage (linear) at 6-months will be evaluated as the primary outcome by a blinded outcome assessor.

Conditions

• Gingival Recession

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Split-thickness non-advanced tunnel (Zabalegui et al. 1999)	A split-thickness non-advanced tunnel will be performed according to Zabalegui et al. (1999).
PROCEDURE	Full-thickness coronally-advanced tunnel (Aroca et al. 2010)	A full-thickness coronally-advanced tunnel (Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel - MCAT) will be performed according to Aroca et al. (2010).
