About this study

Official title: Treatment of Local Gingival Recession With an Enamel Matrix Protein Coated Collagen Matrix - a Randomized Controlled Trial

The clinical trial studies patients with gingival recession defects (receding gums).

The goal of the study is to test whether the additional use of enamel matrix derivatives (EMD), combined with the use of a coronally advance flap (CAF) and a CM (collagen matrix), shows a better outcome compared to a comparison group. The comparison group comprises patients receiving treatment with CAF and CM without the use of EMD.

Read the detailed description

The study aims to evaluate the influence of the additional use of EMD in treatment of gingival recession defects using a coronally advance flap (CAF) and a CM (collagen matrix) by means of digital and clinical assessment methods. The reference group comprises patients receiving treatment with CAF and CM without the application of EMD.

In this prospective, randomized, controlled study, recession height and area, width and thickness of keratinized gingiva, pocket probing depth, and the clinical attachment level were measured at baseline and followed-up for one year.

15 patients with 24 gingival recession defects (Recession Type 1 after Cairo/Miller Class I or II) were recruited and were randomly assigned into the two treatment groups.

Being tested
Use of coronally advanced flap (CAF) and collagen matrix (CM), Use of coronally advanced flap (CAF) and collagen matrix (CM) and additional application of enamel matrix derivatives (EMD).

What is being measured

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

  1. Gingival recession height

    Gingival recession height in millimeters, measured as the distance from cementoenamel junction to gingival margin

    Measured: 12 months postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Width of keratinized tissue (WKT)

    Width of keratinized tissue in millimeters, .as distance between gingival margin and muco-gingival junction

    Measured: 12 months postoperatively

  2. pocket probing depth (PPD)

    Pocket probing depth in millimeters, measured as the distance from gingival margin to bottom of gingival sulcus

    Measured: 12 months postoperatively

  3. Clinical attachment loss (CAL)

    Clinical attachment loss in millimeters

    Measured: 12 months postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Use of coronally advanced flap (CAF) and collagen matrix (CM) and Use of coronally advanced flap (CAF) and collagen matrix (CM) and additional application of enamel matrix derivatives (EMD). in people with Gingival Recession, run by Medical University of Graz.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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 5 Apr 2023. 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.

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?

Gingival recession height (time frame: 12 months postoperatively). 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 5 Apr 2023.
