NCT07199686
This study evaluates gingival color following Free Gingival Graft (FGG) surgery using polarized digital photography to objectively analyze grafted and adjacent tissues. Conventional verbal descriptors (e.g., pale pink, salmon pink) lack precision; therefore, digital colorimetry provides objective, non-contact, and reproducible measurements. The protocol utilizes the CIELab system with standardized color disks and polarization to document postoperative color changes accurately. The study objectives are: (1) to determine CIELab color values of FGG-treated gingiva in patients who underwent conventional surgery at least six months earlier; (2) to assess the influence of age, sex, time since surgery, and gingival thickness on these values; and (3) to compare graft color with adjacent gingiva. Hypothesis: In FGG-treated patients, graft CIELab color values are unaffected by age, sex, postoperative duration, or gingival thickness.
NCT07019428
The aim of this randomized, controlled, parallel-grouped, clinical trial is to evaluate the width of keratinized gingiva after free gingival graft stabilized by titanium fixation tacs compared to traditional suturing. Research question: In patients with inadequate keratinized gingiva undergoing soft tissue augmentation by free gingival graft , will graft stabilization using Titanium fixation tacs affect the amount of keratinized tissue gain compared to graft stabilization using sutures ?
NCT06580821
Gingival recessions can be defined as the exposure of the root surface after an apical migration of the gingival margin in relation to the cemento-enamel junction. Gingival recessions affect both younger and older populations. Various surveys revealed that 88% of people ≥65 years of age and 50% of people between 18 and 64 years of age have ≥1 site with gingival recession. Gingival recessions can occur due to anatomical, pathological factors or trauma and will result in a loss of attachment.
NCT05729919
Gingival recession on vestibular surfaces of teeth is a frequent occurrence in patients with high standards of oral hygiene, affecting all types of teeth. During the last three decades, several surgical techniques have been proposed to treat single and multiple gingival recessions: pedicled flaps (laterally displaced (CDL) or coronally advanced (ACC) flaps), free gingival grafts (IGL), bilaminar techniques or procedures regenerative.
NCT04390100
Free gingival graft (FGG) was first proposed by Bjorn 1963 and Nabers 1966. FGG is indicated to correct mucogingival problems such as inadequate or lack of attached gingiva and gingival recession. The most frequent donor site for free gingival graft is the palate Although, great concern has been given to the recipient sites by using different techniques as suturing, tissue adhesives and special dressings, a little attention was given to protect the donor sites after free gingival graft harvesting. The palatal donor site heal by secondary intention, it could take around 2 to 4 weeks depending on the width and thickness of the tissue removed.The common clinical events that occurs following FGG procedure are patient's discomfort, pain and bleeding at the donor site.
NCT04340830
There are studies investigating the dimensional changes following free gingival graft (FGG) around teeth with inadequate attached gingiva, however no study investigating the effect of smoking on dimensional changes following FGG around dental implants exists. In the present study, we hypothesized that smoking might increase the dimensional change of FGG around dental implants and affect the healing of donor site.
