Official title

Clinical Evaluation of Tunneled Coronally Advance Flap (TCAF) Versus Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel With Connective Tissue Graft in Management of Single Recession Defects (RT2): A Randomized Clinical Trial

Overview

The technique under investigation aims to provide effective root coverage while offering the advantage of being less invasive.

Detailed description

Limited RCTs have been found in the literature comparing the root coverage capacity of the tunneled coronally advanced flap versus modified coronally advanced tunnel combined with connective tissue graft in single RT2 defects. So, this trial aims to fill this gap of knowledge.

Interventions

  • Procedure Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel with Connective Tissue Graft
    Modified coronally advanced tunnel with connective tissue graft without vertical releasing incisions
  • Procedure Tunneled Coronally Advance Flap with Connective Tissue Graft
    Tunneled coronally advance flap with connective tissue graft with one vertical releasing incision

Primary outcome measures

  • Gingival Recession Depth (GRD) [Time frame: 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
  • The Percentage of Mean Root Coverage (MRC %) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Complete Root Coverage (CRC) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Root Coverage Esthetic Score (RES) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • The Distance between the contact point and the top of the papilla (DCP) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Gingival Recession Width (RW) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Gingival Index (GI) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Plaque Index (PI) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Keratinized Tissue Width (KTW) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Gingival Thickness (GT) [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Postoperative Patient Satisfaction (Visual Analogue Scale) [Time frame: 6 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Accepts 6 months follow-up period (compliant patients).

Exclusion criteria

  • RT1 gingival recession.
  • Smokers >10 cigarettes a day a contraindicating for any plastic periodontal surgery.
  • Poor oral hygiene.
  • Active periodontitis patients.
  • Patients on medications causing gingival enlargement.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Teeth mobility ≥ 1 mm.
  • Patients using fixed or removable orthodontic appliances.
  • Restoration and/or periapical radiolucency at the defect site.
