About this study

The purpose of this study was the evaluation of inflammatory and healing profile after root coverage using of Enamel Matrix Derivative. 16 volunteers were selected and submitted to root coverage surgery with subepithelial connective tissue graft, with and without enamel matrix derivative. The patient screening was based in the following inclusion criteria: bilateral recessions in maxillary anterior homologous teeth with aesthetical complaining ou hypersensitivity, non-smokers, healthy and no use of any medication that compromises periodontal health or healing. The split-mouth randomized model was followed in relation to test and control sites. The following clinical parameters were analyzed at baseline and 6-month post-surgery: recession height, recession width, width of keratinized tissue, probing depth, clinical attachment level, and gingival thickness. In addition to the surgical analysis, evaluations of the following inflammatory markers were performed: IL-1β, IL -1RA, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL12, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, EOTAXIN, FGF, GCSF, GMCSF, IFN-y, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP 1a, PDGF-bb, MIP 1b, RANTES, TNF-α e VEGF. These evaluations were performed at baseline, 7 and 14 days after surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-surgical pain

    Questionnaire with a Visual Analog Scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain)

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

  2. Root Coverage Score

    A score including root coverage, marginal gingival tissue contour, mucogingival junction alignment, soft tissue texture and gingival colour according to Cairo et al. (1999)

    Measured: 180 days after surgery

  3. Post-surgical Clinical Analysis

    Analysis of recession height, recession width, width of keratinized tissue, probing depth, clinical attachment level, and gingival thickness.

    Measured: 180 days after surgery

  4. Changes in Gingival Fluid Biomarkers

    Analysis for IL-1β, IL -1RA, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL12, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, EOTAXIN, FGF, GCSF, GMCSF, IFN-y, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP 1a, PDGF-bb, MIP 1b, RANTES, TNF-α e VEGF by Luminex

    Measured: Baseline, 7 and 14 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Microsurgery technique for root coverage and Microsurgery technique for root coverage associated to EMD in people with Gingival Recession, run by Rio de Janeiro State University.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2017. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-surgical pain (time frame: 7 days after surgery). The study lists 4 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 23 Feb 2017.
