About this study

Official title: Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of the Use of Cyanoacrylate in Healing and Pain in the Palatal Donor Site of Connective Tissue Grafts

Periodontal plastic surgery has been performed successfully for a long time in the treatment of gingival recessions and mucogingival defects. Epithelial and connective tissue grafts are considered the "gold standard" treatment for gingival recession due to their biocompatibility and long-term stability, however they require tissue harvesting from a donor area, usually the palate, increasing patient discomfort. Various hemostatic and healing agents have been used in conjunction with suturing to speed healing and reduce complications associated with this procedure, such as bleeding and pain. These include absorbable synthetic collagen, absorbable gelatin sponges, oxidized regenerated cellulose, ferric subsulfate, and more recently, cyanoacrylate cements and platelet-rich fibrin. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are synthesized as monomers by condensation of a cyanoacetate with formaldehyde in the presence of catalysts and the adhesive film is developed by rapid polymerization caused by hydroxide groups to the surfaces to be adhered. The properties of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives of greatest interest in the surgical field are excellent hemostasis, rapid tissue adhesion, and possible bacteriostatic qualities.

Periodontal plastic surgery has been performed successfully for a long time in the treatment of gingival recessions and mucogingival defects. Epithelial and connective tissue grafts are considered the "gold standard" treatment for gingival recession due to their biocompatibility and long-term stability, however they require tissue harvesting from a donor area, usually the palate, increasing patient discomfort. Various hemostatic and healing agents have been used in conjunction with suturing to speed healing and reduce complications associated with this procedure, such as bleeding and pain.

Cyanoacrylate adhesives are synthesized as monomers by condensation of a cyanoacetate with formaldehyde in the presence of catalysts and the adhesive film is developed by rapid polymerization caused by hydroxide groups to the surfaces to be adhered. The properties of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives of greatest interest in the surgical field are excellent hemostasis, rapid tissue adhesion, and possible bacteriostatic qualities.

The objective of this study will be to evaluate the perception of pain by the patient in the postoperative period of procedures for taking connective grafts from the palate in which cyanoacrylate-based tissue adhesive (PeriAcryl 90 HV; Glustitch, Delta, Canada) is used in comparison with a control group in which the clot was stabilized with the use of sutures.

Secondary Objectives:

To evaluate the healing of the palate in those patients in whom cyanoacrylate-based tissue adhesive (PeriAcryl 90 HV; Glustitch, Delta, Canada) is used, and compare it with a control group in which the clot is stabilized with the use of suture.

Evaluate the appearance of complications in procedures for taking connective grafts from the palate, such as necrosis or bleeding.

To evaluate the relationship between the dimensions of the connective tissue graft/thickness of the remaining epithelium after taking the graft and the appearance of complications.

Evaluate the time of the procedure in the harvesting of the graft, both in the suture and cyanoacrylate groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CyanoacrylateDrug

    In the test group, a cyanoacrylate-based tissue adhesive (PeriAcryl 90 HV; Glustitch, Delta, Canada) will be applied.

  • SutureProcedure or surgery

    After harvesting the full-thickness connective tissue graft, the edges of the control group will be approximated with 4/0 non-absorbable monofilament nylon suture (Aragó, Barcelona, Spain).

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain perception

    The pain perceived by the patient will be evaluated by means of a Visual Analogue Scale (calibrated from 0 to 10, with 10 being the worst pain imaginable) during the first 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 14 days.

    Measured: Days 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 14 after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Donor site healing

    Donor site healing will be assessed visually at 7 and 14 days using the modified early wound healing index (MEHI),calibrated from 1 to 5, with 1 being complete closure with flap without a fibrin line on the palate, and 5 being incomplete closure of the flap with complete necrosis of the palatal tissue.

    Measured: will be evaluated at 7 and 14 days after the procedure

A Phase 1 study testing Cyanoacrylate and Suture in people with Pain, Postoperative and Healing Surgical Wounds, run by Alfonso X El Sabio University at 1 site in Spain.

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 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 3 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Joaquín LM Matute, dentistry (659350394 ext. +34, joaquinlopezmalla@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain perception (time frame: Days 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 14 after the procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06116539, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 3 Nov 2023.
