An interventional study of Gingival coverage using coronally advanced flap and a connective tissue graft and Gingival coverage using coronally advanced flap and platelet rich fibrin membranes in Gingival Recession, sponsored by Arab American University (Palestine). Completed at 1 site in Palestinian Territory, occupied. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-03-04.
Sponsored by Arab American University (Palestine) · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a split-mouth, randomized, controlled clinical trial that aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes in conjunction with coronally advanced flap (CAF) in treating maxillary gingival recession defects.
402 studies on the registry are indexed under Gingival Recession; 98 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 15 is below the median of 30 across 368 interventional studies indexed under Gingival Recession.

Exclusion Criteria:
After randomization a subepithelial connective tissue graft along with coronally advanced flap is applied to one maxillary quadrant to cover the recession.
Procedure: Gingival coverage using coronally advanced flap and a connective tissue graft
After randomization platelet rich fibrin membranes along with coronally advanced flap are applied to the other maxillary quadrant to cover the recession.
Procedure: Gingival coverage using coronally advanced flap and platelet rich fibrin membranes
A coronally advanced flap is applied for recession coverage in the maxilla in a split-mouth randomized trial using a subepithelial connective tissue graft
A coronally advanced flap is applied for recession coverage in the maxilla in a split-mouth randomized trial using platelet rich fibrin membranes
Increase in gingival height (recession coverage)
The measurements of the increase in gingival height (recession coverage) using a linear evaluation (corono-apical direction) with a periodontal probe (Merrit-B; Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) at the interventions sites to the nearest 0.5 mm. Registration of the recession height was done before treatment and after 6 weeks.
Time frame: six weeks
Shrinkage in gingival height
To assess the shrinkage of the gingival height, the amount of gingival height vestibular to the treated teeth in a corono-apical direction was measured after the surgery and after six months.
Time frame: six months
Postoperative pain visual analog scores (VAS) and surgery time
This questionnaire used 100 mm visual analog scores VAS to evaluate the amount of pain, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable), and the amount of swelling. Patients were asked to fill in the VAS scales at day 7 and day 14 at suture removal. The time of surgery was measured of both treatment options. Timing started at the moment of first incision until the last suture.
Time frame: two weeks
