Official title

Esthetic Evaluation of Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft (Ns-dFGG) Versus Conventional Free Gingival Graft (cFGG) for the Augmentation of The Keratinized Mucosa: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Overview

The goal of this (study type: RCT) is to learn if the use of the non-submerged de-epithelized FGG will result in better esthetic outcomes in adults. The main questions that it aims to answer are: * Does this procedure increase the width of keratinized tissue? * Does this procedure increase the depth of the vestibule? Researchers will compare this technique with the gold standard using the FGG to evaluate which technique provides better esthetics.

Interventions

  • Procedure Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft
    The Free gingival graft will be de-epithelialized and fixed at the recipient site in a non-submerged manner to increase the keratinized mucosa
  • Procedure Conventional FGG
    The Free gingival graft will be fixed at the recipient site to increase the keratinized mucosa

Primary outcome measures

  • Esthetic Evaluation of Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft (Ns-dFGG) Versus Conventional Free Gingival Graft (cFGG) for the Augmentation of The Keratinized Mucosa [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Esthetic Evaluation of Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft (Ns-dFGG) Versus Conventional Free Gingival Graft (cFGG) for the Augmentation of The Keratinized Mucosa [Time frame: 6 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patients: 18-60.

  • Lower anterior areas.
  • Good oral hygiene.

Exclusion criteria

  • Systemic conditions that prevent the patient from undergoing minor oral surgical procedures or hinder the healing process.
  • Patient undertaking radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
  • Smokers.
  • Pregnant females

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
