RESUMO
The aim of this randomized controlled clinical study was to compare the extended flap technique (EFT) with the coronally advanced flap technique (CAF) using a porcine collagen matrix (PCM) for root coverage. Twenty patients with two bilateral gingival recessions, Miller class I or II on non-molar teeth were treated with CAF+PCM (control group) or EFT+PCM (test group). Clinical measurements of probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), recession height (RH), keratinized tissue height (KTH), keratinized mucosa thickness (KMT) were determined at baseline, 3 and 6 months post-surgery. At 6 months, the mean root coverage for test group was 81.89%, and for control group it was 62.80% (p<0.01). The change of recession depth from baseline was statistically significant between test and control groups, with an mean of 2.21 mm gained at the control sites and 2.84 mm gained at the test sites (p=0.02). There were no statistically significant differences for KTH, PPD or CAL comparing the two therapies. The extended flap technique presented better root coverage than the coronally advanced flap technique when PCM was used.

Abstract: The aim of this randomized controlled clinical study was to compare the extended flap technique (EFT) with the coronally advanced flap technique (CAF) using a porcine collagen matrix (PCM) for root coverage. Twenty patients with two bilateral gingival recessions, Miller class I or II on non-molar teeth were treated with CAF+PCM (control group) or EFT+PCM (test group). Clinical measurements of probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), recession height (RH), keratinized tissue height (KTH), keratinized mucosa thickness (KMT) were determined at baseline, 3 and 6 months post-surgery. At 6 months, the mean root coverage for test group was 81.89%, and for control group it was 62.80% (p<0.01). The change of recession depth from baseline was statistically significant between test and control groups, with an mean of 2.21 mm gained at the control sites and 2.84 mm gained at the test sites (p=0.02). There were no statistically significant differences for KTH, PPD or CAL comparing the two therapies.

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo randomizado, controlado e clínico foi comparar para recobrimento radicular a técnica de retalho estendido (EFT) com a técnica de retalho avançado coronalmente (CAF) utilizando uma matriz suína colágena (PCM). Vinte pacientes com duas retrações gengivais bilaterais, classe I ou II de Miller em dentes não molares foram tratados com PCM+CAF (grupo controle) ou PCM+EFT (grupo teste). Medidas clínicas de profundidade de sondagem, (PPD), nível clínico de inserção (CAL), altura da retração gengival (RH), altura do tecido queratinizado (KTH), espessura da mucosa queratinizada (KMT) foram determinadas no exame inicial, aos 3 e 6 meses após a realização das cirurgias. Após 6 meses a média de recobrimento radicular para o grupo teste foi de 81,89% e para o grupo controle foi de 62,80% (p<0,01). A mudança na altura das retrações gengivais em relação ao exame inicial foi estatisticamente significante entre os grupos teste e controle, com média de 2,21 mm ganhos nos sítios controle e 2,84 mm ganhos nos sítios teste (p=0,02). Não houve diferenças estatísticas significantes para os parâmetros KTH, PPD ou CAL comparando as duas terapias. A técnica de retalho estendido apresentou melhor recobrimento radicular do que a técnica de retalho avançado coronalmente quando a PCM foi usada.
