Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the non-inferiority of the adjunct of a xenogeneic collagen matrix (CMX) or connective tissue graft (CTG) to coronally advanced flaps (CAF) for coverage of multiple adjacent recessions and compare superiority in patient-reported outcomes (PROM).

Material and methods: One hundred and eighty-seven subjects (92 CMX) with 485 recessions in 14 centres were randomized and followed up for 6 months. Patients filled daily diaries for 15 days to monitor patient-reported experience. The primary outcome was changed in position of the gingival margin. Multilevel analysis used centre, subject and tooth as levels and baseline parameters as covariates.

Results: Average baseline recession was 2.5 ± 1.0 mm. The surgery was 15.7 min shorter (95%CI from 11.9 to 19.6, p < .0001) and perceived lighter (11.9 VAS units, 95%CI from 4.6 to 19.1, p = .0014) in CMX subjects. Time to recovery was 1.8 days shorter in CMX. Six-month root coverage was 1.7 ± 1.1 mm for CMX and 2.1 ± 1.0 mm for CTG (difference of 0.44 mm, 95%CI from 0.25 to 0.63 mm). The upper limit of the confidence interval was over the non-inferiority margin of 0.25 mm. Odds of complete root coverage were significantly higher for CTG (OR = 4.0, 95% CI 1.8-8.8).

Conclusion: Replacing CTG with CMX shortens time to recovery and decreases morbidity, but the tested generation of devices is probably inferior to autologous CTG in terms of root coverage. Significant variability in PROMs was observed among centres.

Perception of pain and OHIP‐14 scores after surgery. Average postoperative pain values (a) and OHIP‐14 scores (b) representative of the previous 24 hr during the first 14 days after surgery in subjects treated with CTG (blue continuous line) and CMX (orange dashed line). Pain values are expressed on a 100‐mm visual analogue scale (values under 30 are considered to be moderate pain). Intergroup differences for pain were significant at 7 days. OHIP‐14 scores are expressed as total scores (values ranging from 0 to 56, with higher scores indicating greater impact). OHIP scores were lower in CMX patients at days 1, 3 and 7. The time necessary to return to baseline OHIP scores (time to recovery) was 1.8 days shorter in CMX‐treated subjects
