Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • All sexes

  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Gingival recessions of class I or II types according to Miller (1985), in contralateral, superior or inferior premolars and / or canines;
  • Fine periodontal biotype characterized by the transparency of the North Carolina probe when introduced into the periodontal sulcus (KAN et al., 2003);

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Root Coverage of Gingival Recessions Using Connective Tissue Graft and Collagen Matrix

The purpose of this study is to analyze the percentage of root coverage in Miller class I and II gingival recessions using connective tissue graft and collagen matrix with a two years follow-up.

Read the detailed description

A sample calculation using a mean of 2.92 mm of the quantity of keratinized mucosa obtained after six months in the most recent study (McGUIRE; SCHEYER, 2014) using the same collagen matrix with a standard deviation of ± 0.88 mm, a difference of 0.4 mm being chosen as statistically significant. In addition, a 95% bilateral confidence interval and 80% power were used. A sample of 38 individuals per group was obtained. In addition, a 20% loss is expected during follow-up, a total of 46 individuals should be evaluated.

Periapical radiographic examinations should be performed before the collection of data to confirm the absence of bone loss. The following clinical parameters should be evaluated in both test and control groups: visible plaque index, gingival bleeding index, gingival recession, keratinized mucosa width and thickness, probing depth, bleeding on probing and periodontal biotype for each teeth with a North Carolina periodontal probe. The periodontal biotype for each teeth should be rated as thin or thick, according to probe transparency during probing depth. For statistical purposes, percentages of faces with gingival recession should be calculated. These parameters should be evaluated at baseline and at one, three and six months, one and two years post-therapy.

Clinical parameters should be collected by two operators, calibrated by the Kappa test for the keratinized mucosa width and thickness, periodontal biotype, probing depth and gingival recession.

After the inclusion of the patients, anamnesis and initial examination were performed. The subjects should be divided randomly, using a simple draw, in the following two groups: test - (collagen matrix) and control - (connective tissue graft) placebo associated with basic periodontal therapy). The data should be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with parametric tests, through the software package Social Sciences (SPSS), version 17.0 (free version).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing collagen matrix and connective tissue graft in people with Gingival Recession, run by Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bruno CV Gurgel, Doctor (+558432154107, bcgurgel@yahoo.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

gingival recession (time frame: baseline). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Dec 2016.
