Clinical Evaluation Comparing Tunneled Coronally Advanced Flap and Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel With Connective Tissue Graft for Managing Single Gum Recession

Clinical Evaluation of Tunneled Coronally Advance Flap (TCAF) Versus Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel With Connective Tissue Graft in Management of Single Recession Defects (RT2): A Randomized Clinical Trial

• Status: Not Yet Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 24 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Cairo University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The technique under investigation aims to provide effective root coverage while offering the advantage of being less invasive.

Detailed description

Limited RCTs have been found in the literature comparing the root coverage capacity of the tunneled coronally advanced flap versus modified coronally advanced tunnel combined with connective tissue graft in single RT2 defects. So, this trial aims to fill this gap of knowledge.

Conditions

• Single Recession Defects (RT2)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel with Connective Tissue Graft	Modified coronally advanced tunnel with connective tissue graft without vertical releasing incisions
PROCEDURE	Tunneled Coronally Advance Flap with Connective Tissue Graft	Tunneled coronally advance flap with connective tissue graft with one vertical releasing incision
