Detailed Description
Study design This is a prospective longitudinal clinical trial, being a patient-centered, double-blind (patient and examiner), randomized by lottery, placebo-controlled study. The intention will be to serve patients at the dental clinics of the Nova Friburgo Health Institute, however, due to the pandemic, provisionally, until the calls return, some patients will be treated in a private dental office. Research volunteers will be attended to, complying with all biosafety procedures and will receive all care free of charge, in addition to the acrylic plate to be used after surgery, as well as all materials to be used before and after the procedure, as well as such as pain control medications.
Participants eligible for inclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the research, voluntarily, after clarifying doubts about the project and will sign an informed consent form. All principles of this study will be established in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol will be analyzed and must receive approval from the research ethics committee of the health institute of Nova Friburgo-RJ, Universidade Federal Fluminense.
Sample calculation The sample calculation was performed considering the primary outcome. Considering the t test for two independent samples regarding the residual healing area in square milimetersl in the ozone group (36.04 ± 9.66) vs. control (48.21 ± 13.2) at 14 days (80% power; alpha level of 0.05), a sample of 14 patients per group was estimated. The program used to calculate the sample size was BioEstat 5.3 (Mamirauá , Belém, PA, Brazil).
Clinical groups and procedures Epithelial free gingival tissue (EGL) grafts will be removed from the palate to be placed in a post - extraction socket in order to achieve ridge preservation. Both procedures, extraction and obtaining the EGL, will be performed in the same surgical procedure. In the first surgical step, the tooth will be extracted using atraumatic instruments . In the second step, the EGL will be removed from the palate, in a standardized way, using a circular scalpel with 8 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness (Maximus Instrumental Odontológico®, Contagem, Brazil). The EGL will be adjusted at the entrance of the alveolus and sutured with 5.0 non-resorbable monofilament nylon thread (Ethicon ®, Johnsons & Johnsons do Brasil®, São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil).
The donor area will be sutured with non-resorbable 4.0 polypropylene thread , considering that this thread is a monofilament thread , in order not to accumulate bacterial biofilm (Ethicon ®, Johnsons & Johnsons do Brasil ®, São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil) . After suturing, the patient will receive a 1 mm thick acetate plate that covers part of the donor area of the palate, providing protection to the palatal wound against mechanical trauma. The suture from the palatal region will be removed at 7 days, while the suture from the recipient area will be removed at 14 days. Only the donor area will be evaluated in the present study.
The groups will be divided as follows:
- EGL group (control): after removal of the EGL, the palatal wound will be treated with non-ozonized sunflower oil (placebo), applied once a day, for seven days.
- EGL + Ozone Group (test): after EGL removal, the palatal wound will be treated with ozonized sunflower oil with a peroxide index between 510 - 625 meq /kg (Oleozon ®, São Paulo, Brazil), applied once per day for seven days.
Surgeries will be performed by a single operator, while clinical evaluations will be performed by another operator, duly trained and calibrated.
Postoperative guidelines Postoperative medication will be as follows: Amoxicillin 500 mg (1 capsule 3 times a day, for 7 days) and Dipyrone sodium 500 mg (1 tablet, every 4 hours, for 3 days only in case of pain). Dipyrone will only be recommended in case of pain and the patient should note on a specially prepared form if there was a need for consumption and the amount ingested each day.
The patient will be instructed to apply the oil provided with the aid of a cotton swab, once a day at night, after brushing the teeth, putting the acrylic plate right after to sleep. It is important to emphasize the use of the plate so that the drug has the desired effect. This card will be used for 7 days. Important not to use any mouthwash , just conventional brushing and flossing.
Clinical Evaluation Clinical evaluation and healing process will be evaluated as follows: a) remaining scar area, b) Epithelialization (E) and c) Tissue edema. Assessments will be performed at baseline (after EGL removal) and at 3, 7, and 14 days.
- Remaining scar area (ARC): standardized photographs will be taken (brightness, distance and angle of 45º in relation to the palate), with a PCP-UNC 15 millimeter periodontal probe (Hu- Friedy ®, Chicago, Illinois, USA) being positioned to standardization in millimeters of the area to be measured in software ( Image J-NIH, Bethesda, USA). Wound area will be measured in square milimeters at, 3, 7 and 14 days after EGL removal.
- Epithelialization (E): the wound area will be stained with an evidencing solution (Replack ® Dentisply , Pennsylvania, USA) and measured at the respective intervals, and the epithelialized area will be calculated as a percentage. Fibrin, granulation tissue and scar tissue scores: The score used was adapted from other study, considering: a) Score of the presence of a fibrin clot in: 0- presence of the entire wound extension with fibrin clot; 1- presence of ≥ 75% of fibrin clot; 2- presence of <75% to ≥ 50% of fibrin clot; 3- presence of <50% to ≥25% of fibrin clot; 4- presence of < 25% of fibrin clot; 5- absence of fibrin clot; b) Presence of granulation tissue score in: 0- absence of granulation tissue; 1- presence of < 25% of tissue; 2- presence of <50% to ≥25% of tissue; 3- presence of <75% to ≥ 50% of tissue; 4- presence of ≥ 75% of tissue; 5- presence of the entire extension with granulation tissue; c) Presence of scar tissue score in: 0- absence of scar tissue; 1- incomplete wound closure with < 25% scar tissue; 2- incomplete wound closure with <50% to ≥25% scar tissue; 3- incomplete wound closure with <75% to ≥ 50% scar tissue; 4- incomplete wound closure with ≥ 75% scar tissue; 5- complete wound closure.
- Tissue edema (TE): the edema will be evaluated at 3 and 7 postoperative days, being considered dichotomously, as absent (0) or present.
Calibration Calibration will be performed on five patients, who will not be included in the research. The evaluator (PJ) will be trained and calibrated for ARC measurements (at baseline and 7 days after surgery) and the measurements will be performed at two different times, one week apart. The intraclass correlation will be evaluated by the BioEstat 5.0 program (Mamiraua , Pará, Brazil). Statistical significance will be set at 5%.
immunological evaluation Measurement of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor; pg /ml) and TGF-beta (transforming growth factor beta; pg /ml) levels in the donor region will be performed. For this, an absorbent paper tip will be used, which will be positioned in the donor area of the palate for 30 seconds, without pressure. VEGF , originally known as vascular permeability factor, is a signal protein produced by cells that stimulates blood vessel formation. TGF-beta is a protein that controls cell proliferation, differentiation and other functions in most cells. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-Hydroxinonenal (4-HNE) will be evaluated for oxidative stress . The samples will be collected and placed in sterile eppendorfs , containing phosphate-buffered saline solution with 0.05% Tween 20, being stored in a freezer at -20 o C. The immunological evaluation will be performed at 3 and 7 days.
Quality of life
The instrument to assess the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life of individuals will be the questionnaire called Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). This questionnaire will only be applied on the 7th day. The seven dimensions of oral impact:
- Limitation Functional (items 1 and 2),
- Pain (items 3 and 4),
- Discomfort Psychological (items 5 and 6),
- Inability Physics (items 7 and 8),
- Inability Psychological (items 9 and 10),
- Social Disability (items 11 and 12)
- Disadvantage (items 13 and 14).
Each dimension reflects the impact of the general oral condition on certain aspects namely:
- The Functional Limitation dimension includes questions regarding speech difficulties and reduced taste sensitivity;
- In the Pain dimension, questions are asked about the sensation of pain experienced , as well as the discomfort in the act of eating;
- Regarding the Psychological Discomfort dimension, the concern and stress that the oral condition may cause are explored;
- The Physical Disability dimension refers to the possible loss of food and the need to interrupt meals;
- In the Psychological Disability dimension, questions are asked about the difficulty in relaxing and the feeling of embarrassment related to the oral condition;
- Regarding the Social Disability dimension, this includes questions about the impact of the oral condition on relationships with others and on the difficulty in carrying out daily activities;
- And the Disadvantage dimension, explores the person's perception of the impact of the oral condition on their life and on the inability to carry out their activities.
The OHIP-14 consists of 14 questions, which refer to oral and general health problems that people have experienced in the last twelve months. For each question, there are five response options (never=0, hardly ever=1, occasionally=2, quite often=3, and often=4). This value is then multiplied by the weight of each question (item 1: weight = .51; item 2: weight = .49; item 3: weight = .34; item 4: weight = .66; item 5: weight = . 45; item 6: weight = .55; item 7: weight = .52; item 8: weight = .48; item 9: weight = .60; item 10: weight = .40; item 11: weight = .62; item 12: weight = .38; item 13: weight = .59; item 14: weight = .41). After adding up the scores of all the questions, the final result is obtained, which can vary between 0 and 28 points. The higher the score, the greater the impact of issues on quality of life.
Analysis of postoperative discomfort Patients were instructed to score postoperative discomfort on a 10 mm visual analogue scale (VAS), which signal the extremes of "no pain" and "extreme pain". The VAS scale must be completed by the patient, daily, until completing 7 days. The number of analgesics ingested should also be recorded during a week.
Statistical analysis The data will initially be tested for normality by the Shapiro-Wilk test. If the data are parametric, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) can be applied, but if they are non-parametric, the Kruskal - Wallis test can be applied, followed by Dunn 's test , for comparison between groups. The significance level will be set at 5% by the BioEstat 5.0® program (Mamiraua , Pará, Brazil).
