Placental Membrane for Root Coverage

February 12, 2017 updated by: Dr.Jaideep Mahendra, Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital

Treatment of Gingival Recession Using a Coronally Advanced Flap Procedure With or Without Placental Membrane

Aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of placental membrane with coronally advanced flap in covering single and multiple Miller's class I and II gingival recession defects.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

STUDY DESIGN A total number of 60 teeth in 15 subjects were selected. Patients with bilateral Miller's class I and II gingival recession defects in the maxillary or mandibular anterior and premolar region were selected and divided into two groups using a split mouth design.

GroupI (Control) -30 recession defects treated with coronally advanced flap alone, using Zucchelli's technique.

Group II (Test) - 30 recession defects treated with coronally advanced flap, using Zucchelli's technique along with placental membrane.

.

CLINICAL PARAMETERS:

  1. Probing Pocket Depth(PPD)
  2. Clinical Attachment Level(CAL)
  3. Height of Gingival Recession(HGR)
  4. Width of Gingival Recession(WGR)
  5. Width of Keratinized Gingiva(WKG) The clinical parameters were assessed & recorded on 0 day, 90th day and 180th day

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Height of Gingival recession
Time Frame: 6 months
The height of gingival recession was measured from the cemento-enamel junction to the gingival margin using Williams periodontal probe
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical attachment level
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months
Clinical attachment level is measured as the distance between a fixed point on the crown such as cementoenamel junction to the base of the pocket using williams periodontal probe
Baseline and 6 months
Width of Keratinized Gingiva
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months
It is measured as the distance from the gingival margin to the mucogingival junction using williams periodontal probe
Baseline and 6 months
