RESUMEN Introducción: A lo largo de los años se ha propuesto una notable variedad de protocolos quirúrgicos periodontales, cuyo enfoque pasó de la simple resolución de defectos de tejidos blandos a la realización de procedimientos predecibles y mínimamente invasivos. Inicialmente se usaba el injerto gingival libre. Posteriormente se han probado diversas técnicas, incluidas aquellas con sustitutos de tejidos blandos, como membranas tipo Alloderm. Hoy en día se considera el gold standard el injerto de tejido conectivo subepitelial asociado al colgajo de avance coronal. Por último, se ha examinado la técnica Pinhole, con mayor preservación de tejido y resultado más estético. Objetivos: El objetivo de esta revisión fue la comparación de técnicas actualizadas para el tratamiento de recesiones múltiples en maxilar superior e inferior.

ABSTRACT Background: Along the years, a remarkable variety of periodontal surgical protocols has been proposed, the focus of which has shifted from the mere resolution of a soft tissue defect to the performance of predictable and minimally invasive procedures. Initially, the free gingival graft was used. Subsequently, many different techniques were experimented, including those using soft tissue substitutes, such as the Alloderm membrane. Nowadays, the association of the connective tissue graft with the coronally advanced flap is considered the gold standard. Finally, the Pinhole technique, being a more conservative method in terms of tissue preservation and aesthetic outcome, was proposed. Objectives: The aim of this review was the comparison of the updated techniques for the treatment of multiple periodontal recessions, affecting both maxilla and mandible. The procedure outcome was assessed in terms of complete root coverage, recession reduction, gain in height and volume, aesthetic outcome, patient's post-operative pain and morbidity of donor and recipient sites. Material and methods: Electronic and hand searches were performed to collect split- mouth studies, randomized controlled clinical trials, case series, pilot studies, periodontal books, case studies, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, including maxillary and mandibular multiple gingival recession defects of all four Miller's classes, for its extensive evidence. Results: Thirty-four publications were included and data regarding the surgical techniques outcome were extracted from eighteen articles. The clinical evaluation analyzed the amount of complete root coverage, recession reduction and gain in height and volume, while the patient's perspective was expressed in terms of aesthetic satisfaction and possible postoperative complications. Procedures in the last ten years showed better results in all the above-mentioned factors. Conclusion: Procedural predictability and long-lasting treatment stability embody the factors driving the technique election process and adding value to more updated procedures. Progress was observed both at an aesthetic level, by reducing the discrepancias between the surgical region and the surrounding tissue, and at a postoperative level, by reducing patient discomfort. The challenges inherent to this branch could soon find answers thanks to its prompt evolution, which allows for further advances to be conceived.

SaúdeRESUMO
@#With the increasing demand for beauty, the treatment of gingival recession has become a common request among patients. Clinically, gingival recession is mainly treated by surgery. The common surgical methods include free gingival grafting, pedicled flap technology and double flap technology (subepithelial connective tissue transplantation combined with coronally advanced flaps). If patients with indications are selected, satisfactory surgical results will be obtained. However, there are still some shortcomings in the above mentioned methods, such as the root coverage effect not being satisfactory. In recent years, researchers have put forward some improved schemes to minimize the shortcomings of the above methods to treat different degrees of gingival recession. A gingival unit graft containing gingival papilla and free gingiva can improve the blood supply of the recipient area and improve the effect of root coverage. It can obtain better root coverage for slight retraction, widening of the angular gingiva and deepening of the vestibular sulcus, but there may be issues with inconsistent color and shape of the gingiva after surgery, as well as poor aesthetic effects. Modified coronally advanced flaps, flaps prepared by the technique of half-thickness, full-thickness and half-thickness, and modified coronally advanced envelope flap technology are designed with the most serious retraction teeth as the center in the case of multiple gingival retractions, both of which can improve the effect of root covering. Tunnel technology and modified tunnel technology, without severing the gingival papilla and tunneling the gingival flap to accommodate the graft, can effectively reduce tissue damage and promote wound healing. This paper reviews the literature and summarizes the outcome of the modified surgery techniques in the treatment of gingival recession. These treatment options for gingival recession are proposed with the aim of improving clinical work, and some suggestions for the treatment of gingival recession to achieve a stable root coverage effect are put forward. In the future, the development direction of mucogingival surgery is to reduce trauma and have a stable curative effect.
RESUMO
Introducción: Hoy en día, uno de los motivos de consulta de los pacientes es la inconformidad con su apariencia estética debido a la presencia de recesiones gingivales. Dentro de las diversas técnicas para tratar este tipo de defectos se encuentra el colgajo posicionado lateral, el cual, se utiliza para la cobertura radicular de recesiones gingivales únicas en dientes mandibulares y cuyos resultados han demostrado ganancia en altura de tejido queratinizado, ganancia en inserción clínica y una cobertura radicular completa. Reporte de Caso: Paciente femenino de 32 años, diagnosticado con defecto mucogingival único en torno a pieza dental 3.1 y que fue tratado con un colgajo posicionado lateral en combinación con proteínas derivadas de la matriz del esmalte, con el objetivo de cubrir la recesión gingival. Conclusión: La técnica de colgajo posicionado lateral es un tratamiento viable y eficaz para la cobertura radicular completa de defectos mucogingivales únicos en torno a diente, donde además se obtiene ganancia en altura de encía queratinizada, así como de nivel de inserción clínica.
Introduction: Nowadays, one of the reasons for consultation of patients is the dissatisfaction with their aesthetic appearance due to the presence of gingival recessions. Among the various techniques to treat this type of defects is the laterally positioned flap, which is used for root coverage of single gingival recessions in mandibular teeth and whose results have shown gain in height of keratinized tissue, clinical attachment gain and complete root coverage. Case Report: 32-year-old female patient, diagnosed with a single mucogingival defect around tooth 3.1 and treated with a laterally positioned flap in combination with enamel matrix derivatives, in order to cover the gingival recession. Conclusion: The laterally positioned flap technique is a viable and effective treatment for complete root coverage of single mucogingival defects around the tooth. In addition, there is a gain in keratinized gingiva and in clinical attachment.
RESUMO
Abstract This case series reports a modified tunnel technique with connective tissue graft for the root coverage of multiple Miller Class I, II, and III gingival recessions. The modified approach presents an innovative suture technique to improve the stability and position of the graft. Ten patients with multiple gingival recessions (n=85 teeth) received surgical root coverage treatment. The gingival recession height and width were measured and presented as median, minimum, and maximum values. The percentage of the root coverage after at least 12 months expressed the treatment effectiveness. The Shapiro-Wilk test evaluated the normality; pared Wilcoxon test determined the exact P-value for the differences in the height of the gingival recession before and after surgical treatment (α = 0.05). An average of 97.9% (± 5.6%, p < 0.0001) root coverage after treatment occurred, and 73 out of 85 recessions presented complete root coverage after 12 months. Treatment of Miller class I and II gingival recessions resulted in root coverage higher than 99 and class III higher than 95% (p < 0.0001). The presented case series report the efficacy of a modified surgical technique promoting more than 95% of root coverage after 12 months in multiple Miller Class I, II, and III gingival recessions. Well-designed blind randomized controlled trials are needed to validate the proposed technique.
Resumo Esta série de casos relata uma técnica de túnel modificada com enxerto de tecido conjuntivo para o recobrimento radicular de múltiplas recessões gengivais Classe I, II e III de Miller. A abordagem modificada apresenta uma técnica de sutura inovadora para melhorar a estabilidade e a posição do enxerto. Dez pacientes com múltiplas recessões gengivais (n=85 dentes) receberam tratamento cirúrgico de recobrimento radicular. A altura e a largura da recessão gengival foram mensuradas e apresentadas como valores medianos, mínimos e máximos. A eficácia do tratamento foi expressa como uma porcentagem da cobertura radicular após pelo menos 12 meses. O teste de Shapiro-Wilk avaliou a normalidade; o teste de Wilcoxon pared determinou o valor P exato para as diferenças entre a altura da recessão gengival antes e após o tratamento cirúrgico (α = 0,05). Uma média de 97,9% (± 5,6%, p < 0,0001) de cobertura radicular após o tratamento ocorreu, e 73 das 85 recessões apresentaram cobertura radicular completa após 12 meses. O tratamento das recessões gengivais classe I e II de Miller resultou em recobrimento radicular superior a 99 e classe III superior a 95% (p < 0,0001). A série de casos apresentada relata a eficácia de uma técnica cirúrgica modificada promovendo mais de 95% de cobertura radicular após 12 meses em múltiplas recessões gengivais Classe I, II e III de Miller. Ensaios controlados randomizados cegos bem desenhados são necessários para validar a técnica proposta.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES@#This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and long-term stability of tunnel technique (TUN) and coronally advanced flap (CAF) combined with connective tissue graft (CTG) in treating gingival recession.@*METHODS@#Databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and CNKI were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trial (RCT) of CAF+CTG compared to TUN+CTG in the treatment of Miller class Ⅰ or Ⅱ gingival recession on September 1, 2022.@*RESULTS@#There were 8 RCTs with 305 patients (454 recession sites) participating. The results of the Meta-analysis revealed that, in terms of mean root coverage (MRC) of main indicators, no significant difference was found between the CAF group and the TUN group in both short- and long-term results, which were [MD: 1.45%, 95%CI (-2.93%, 5.82%), P=0.52] and [MD: -0.70%, 95%CI (-6.41%, 5.00%), P=0.81]. However, the CAF group outperformed the TUN group in the long term [MD: 5.69%, 95%CI (0.87%, 10.50%), P=0.02], and the results of complete root coverage (CRC) analysis were similar to those of MRC. In the short term, the TUN group grew keratinized gingiva significantly faster than the CAF group [MD: -0.38 mm, 95%CI (-0.67 mm, -0.10 mm), P=0.008]. Long-term findings revealed no significant difference between the two groups [MD: -0.26 mm, 95%CI (-0.94 mm, 0.43 mm), P=0.46]. The TUN group's secondary index root coverage esthetic score (RES) was statistically significantly higher than the CAF group's [MD: 0.62, 95%CI (0.28, 0.96), P=0.000 3]. Given that there were few results included in the literature and the heterogeneity was too great, no significant difference was observed in the postoperative VAS pain index score [MD: 0.53, 95%CI (-1.96, 3.03), P=0.68].@*CONCLUSIONS@#This study discovered that both CAF+CTG and TUN+CTG can achieve good root coverage in treating gingival recession, with CAF outperforming TUN and both groups achie-ving good long-term stability. After the operation, the TUN group had a higher RES than the CAF group. Given the limitations of this study, more high-quality studies are needed in the future to demonstrate the efficacy of TUN in gingival retraction surgery.

@#Gingival recessions (GRs) result in root hypersensitivity, root surface caries, and esthetic problems. Various root coverage surgeries are being developed for periodontal plastic therapy. The tunnel technique (TUN) is one of the most widely applied surgeries due to its features of being minimally invasive, practical, excellent outcomes and long-term stability; however, there are still some limitations of this technique. The history and evolution from the envelope flap to TUN, including its efficiency when compared with coronally advanced flaps with a connective tissue graft (CTG), are reviewed in this paper. The limitations of TUN are discussed in consideration of our clinical experience; for example, there is high technique sensitivity when TUN is applied in GR>5 mm because of the great difficulty in covering the grafts. The advantages of surgical access, including vertical incisions in the vestibule, “W” type and pinhole access, are discussed for different situations. Mattress sutures and sling sutures in a single tooth or multiple teeth are applied in TUN. The different types of grafts, such as CTG, platelet-rich plasma, articular dermal matrix and xenogeneic collagen matrix, are described. Mechanical, chemical and biological conditioning of the root surface are recommended during surgery. Protecting the surgical area and taking antibiotics postoperatively are also very important. Finally, the modifications when TUN is applied with other kinds of techniques are discussed, including lateral closed TUN, laterally positioned flaps, double papilla flaps and frenuloplasty. Minimally invasive, esthetic, long-term stability and simplified techniques are the development trends of TUN in the future.
RESUMO
Background: Recession is a mucogingival condition affecting teeth causing hypersensitivity. Although many techniques are there for recession coverage, semilunar vestibular incision technique (SVIT) is a novel procedure for management of multiple gingival recession in maxillary teeth. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of root coverage in maxillary teeth with multiple gingival recession using SVIT. Methodology: Twenty systemically healthy patients were recruited with Miller’s class I and II gingival recessions in maxillary teeth. Parameters such as recession height (RH), recession weight (RW), avascular surface area (ASA), width of keratinized gingiva (WKG), width of attached gingiva (WAG), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were measured at baseline three and six months post?surgery. Results: The outcome measures were statistically significant at baseline, three and six months. A reduction of 86% was achieved in terms of RH and RW. Gain in WKG and WAG as achieved at six?month follow?up was 31.5% and 55%, respectively. An 87% decrease in ASA was obtained and reduction in CAL was 82.4%. Between three and six months there was a significant increase in WAG. Conclusion: SVIT results in improved measures of attached gingiva on six?month follow?up.

Background:This case report describes treatment of multiple gingival recession with subgingival connective tissue graft and coronally advanced flap technique in treatment of maxillary teeth. Material And Methods:Connective tissue grafting wasdone in relation to upper right second premolar, first premolar, canine, right central incisor, left central incisor and left lateral incisor (#15,#14,#13,#11,#21,#22). A split thickness flap was elevated without disturbing periosteum in this region. The area between canine and second premolar was selected to harvest the graft. The graft was placed on the recipient bed and suturing was done. Result:Predictable root surface coverage could be obtained with use of coronally advanced flap and subepithelial connective tissue graft. Conclusion:Subepithelial connective tissue graft along with coronally advanced flap still stand as a gold standard treatment for gingival recession coverage.
RESUMO
Background:Gingival recession is the one of the widespread mucogingival deformity and should be treated at its most primitive recognition. Exposed root surfaces are more likely to develop root sensitivity, root caries, cervical abrasions and post esthetic problems. Amid innumerable procedures, laterally positioned pedicle graft (LPG) is extensively used efficaciously to conceal recession defects. The main advantages of thelaterally positioned pedicle graft is, it produces excellent esthetic results as it has good vascularity of the flap and ability to cover the denuded surfaces. Thus,the present case report describes the use of lateral pedicle graft technique in an isolated gingival recession on mandibular incisor.
RESUMO
Objective @#To compare the clinical effect of the tunnel technique (TUN) and vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) combining connective tissue grafts (CTGs) on recovering the exposed root surface in a case of gingival recession over the upper anterior teeth and then to provide clinical evidence for gingival recession treatment. @*Methods@# A case of gingival recession (Miller I type) over teeth 13-14 and 22-23 was treated using different techniques bilaterally. 22-23 were treated by a TUN combined CTG transplantation,while teeth 13-14 were treated by a VISTA technique combined with CTG transplantation. The gingival retraction height (GRH), gingival retraction width (GRW), keratinized gingival width (KW), root coverage aesthetic score (RES) and visual analog scale (VAS) were measured after operation. @*Results @#The effect of post-operation were ideal and complete ginglval recovering were achieved, the postoperative effects of the two methods were stable, GRH and GRW decreased, and KW increased. RES was 10. The VAS score of VISTA combined with CTG transplantation was 6, which was higher than that of TUN+CTG. @*Conclusion@#Gingival recession can be treated by TUN+CTG or VISTA+CTG with ideal prognosis. VISTA with an additional incision facilitates the operative procedure but leads to less comfort.
RESUMO
Objective:To observe the clinical outcome of the modified laterally advanced flap combined with tunnel technique for the treatment of maxillary isolated soft tissue defects. Methods:Three of maxillary isolated soft tissue defects were selected, and the modified lateral advanced flap combined with tunnel technique and subepithelial connective tissue graft was performed to repair the soft tissue defects. Pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), recession height (RD), recession weight (RW), gingiva thickness (GT), and keratinized tissue width (KTW) were measured at baseline and one-year follow-up after treatment and the root coverage rate (RC%) was calculated. Results:Totally three patients were treated, two Miller III and one Miller Ⅱ. The mean RC% at one-year follow-up was (78.89±18.36)%. The mean CALs at baseline and follow-up were (6.00±1.00) mm and (1.83±1.61) mm. The mean RHs at baseline and follow-up were (5.33±0.58) mm and (1.17±1.04) mm. The mean RWs at baseline and follow-up were (6.00±1.32) mm and (4.50±3.91) mm. The mean GTs at baseline and follow-up were (0.83±0.29) mm and (1.83±0.76) mm. The mean KTWs at baseline and follow-up were (0.83±0.76) mm and (5.50±0.50) mm. Conclusion:In the treatment of maxillary isolated soft tissue defect, the modified lateral advanced flap combined with tunnel technique has broad application and valid clinical outcome.
RESUMO
Background: Which are the different ways of stabilizing connective tissue grafts (CTGs) for root coverage and gingival augmentation by means of placement of sutures? There are various defined and undefined ways of stabilizing CTGs depending on experience and personal preferences. Most of the techniques profess use of absorbable sutures in separate interrupted fashion (sutures at the corners of the graft wherever possible). Aim: This paper describes a new suturing method, “the lingually-tied horizontal mattress contouring suture,” for stabilization of CTGs with or without epithelialized collar at the recipient site, for use with papilla retention and sparing techniques to treat marginal tissue recessions. Methods and Material: The suturing technique is described in detail. It can be indicated for good number of root coverage cases, with additional objectives of gingival augmentation, specifically developed for papilla sparing and papillary buccal de-epithelialization recipient site preparations. Results: Over a period of last 16 years this suturing technique showed promising results in terms of graft stabilization and survival. The main advantage of this technique lies in the use of cost-effective nonabsorbable sutures that usually retain some amount of tension on the soft tissues longer. Conclusion: The primary objective of the suturing technique, per se, is to stabilize the CTG firmly along the contours of the root surface and to expedite a very close adaptation to the interdental soft tissues as well. The secondary objective of the article or publication is to disseminate the knowledge acquired through long periods of performance and observation for the benefit of the periodontal community as whole. Further validation is advocated.
RESUMO
Objective@#To evaluate and compare the clinical effects of three surgical procedures for the periodontal treatment of root surface exposure after resection of epulis.@*Methods@#Thirty patients with epulis were selected in this study and the exposed root surfaces of the patients′ teeth were covered with laterally transposition flap, laterally pedicled transposition flap or coronally advanced flap combined with a connective tissue graft in the treatments of epulis. At the time of follow-up during the operation, 3 months after operation and 6 months after operation, respectively, the color, shape and quality of the gum in the operation area and the coordination of the diaphragm and diaphragm were observed, and the root surface exposure (recession depth, RD) and angle were recorded. Keratinized tissue height (KTH), root coverage rate (RC) and patients′ satisfaction with the surgery were also recorded.@*Results@#The flap widths in groups of laterally pedicled transposition flap and coronally advanced flap combined with a connective tissue graft were significantly wider than that in the group of laterally transposition flap at three-month and six-month follow-ups after the surgery. The width of keratoderma [(2.70±1.16) mm] in the group of laterally transposition flap was significantly lower at 6 months postoperatively than that in the other two groups [(4.80±1.14) and (4.90±1.66) mm, respectively] (P<0.01). At the 6th month after surgery, the root flap coverage was at the lowest level [(24±43)%] in the group of laterally transposition flap, and it was significantly lower than that in the other two groups [(80±23)% and (86±24)%, respectively] (P<0.01). There was no significant difference of the root flap coverage between groups of laterally pedicled transposition flap and coronally advanced flap combined with a connective tissue graft. At the time of follow-up, patients were satisfied with the aesthetic effects of the three surgical procedures.@*Conclusions@#After the resection of the gingival tumor, the defect of the gingiva is caused. The laterally pedicled flap and pedicled flap combined with connective tissue transplantations for soft tissue repairing can achieve satisfactory aesthetic effects which are superior to the effect of simple flap technique.
RESUMO
Gingival recession could result in root exposure, dental hypersensitivity and poor aesthetics. It has been demonstrated that varieties of root coverage procedures can significantly improve gingival recession in short-term (≤6 months), of which coronally advanced flap combined with connective tissue graft is the gold standard technique for treatment of gingival recession. It could obtain the optimally complete root coverage and maintain long-term stability (≥2 years). However, clinical knowledge about the long-term effectiveness of the other alternative graft materials remain very limited. Based on the existing clinical evidence, this article reviews coronally advanced flap, coronally advanced flap combined with connective tissue graft or alternative graft materials, with particular attention to the long-term stability of them, in order to provide reference for the design of further clinical trials and the plan of clinical treatments.
RESUMO
@#Gingival recession is one of the common oral symptoms. Periodontal soft tissue defects caused by gingival recession and problems related to aesthetics, prosthetics and orthodontic treatment have garnered increasing attention. This article reviews the etiology, classification and treatment of gingival recession to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of gingival recession. Anatomical characteristics of teeth, bacterial and viral infection, Occlusion trauma, Improperbrushing methods and other daily behaviors and iatrogenic factors may lead to gingival recession. Miller classification is the most commonly used classification standard. It is divided into 4 degrees according to the relationship between gingival recession and the association between the gingival membrane and the loss of adjacent alveolar bone or interdental papilla. Gingival surgeries, such as coronally advanced flap, laterally positioned flap, subepithelial connective tissue graft for Miller Ⅰ degrees and Ⅱ gingival recession retreat, obtain a more satisfactory success rate. Regarding the Ⅲ degree gingival recession, the postoperative curative effect is poor and can only cover part of the root. Regarding Ⅳ degrees gingival recession, surgery cannot reach the root surface coverage. For patients with Miller Ⅳgingival recession caused by severe periodontitis, the surgical treatment is poor, and repair methods, such as sputum, can also be considered. In recent years, a variety of biological materials have been jointly applied to gingival surgery, such as tooth enamel matrix derivative (EMD), allograft acellular dermal matrix (ADM), porcine collagen matrix (PCM) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). The use of these biomaterials can improve root coverage, increase gingival thickness and keratinized gingival width, avoid the requirement of palatal flap removal, reduce the surgical risk and increase patient compliance.
RESUMO
As recessões gengivais podem causar hipersensibilidade dentinária, desconforto estético e aumentar a prevalência de cáries ou lesões cervicais não-cariosas. Cirurgias para recobrimento radicular associadas a enxertos têm sido consideradas padrão ouro no tratamento das recessões gengivais. OBJETIVO: Comparar o enxerto de tecido conjuntivo e uma matriz de colágeno xenógena no recobrimento radicular de recessões gengivais unitárias em fenótipo gengival fino, em 6 meses de acompanhamento. METODOLOGIA: Este ensaio clínico, controlado, randomizado, duplo cego, de boca dividida, avaliou 28 pacientes com recessões gengivais bilaterais submetidos à cirurgia para recobrimento radicular, através do retalho estendido associado ao enxerto de tecido conjuntivo subepitelial (grupo controle) e matriz de colágeno (grupo teste). Os parâmetros avaliados foram profundidade de sondagem, recessão gengival, nível clínico de inserção, mucosa ceratinizada e sangramento à sondagem tanto dos dentes que receberam os enxertos, como dos dentes distais e mesiais a esse. Além de espessura gengival e alteração do fenótipo gengival dos dentes que receberam os enxertos, dor pós-operatória e qualidade de vida, através do Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, no baseline, três e seis meses após a cirurgia. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente através dos testes de Friedman, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, Qui-quadrado, McNemar, ANOVA e teste t, sendo pré-estabelecido um nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: 14 homens e 14 mulheres foram incluídos, com uma média de idade de 30,3 (± 6,2) anos. Foram observadas reduções estatisticamente significativas para a recessão gengival e ganho significativo do nível clínico de inserção tanto dos dentes que receberam os enxertos (p<0,001), como dos dentes distais (p=0,001) e mesiais (p<0,001), na análise intragrupo, em ambos os grupos de tratamento, nos períodos avaliados. Além disso, houve aumento significativo da mucosa ceratinizada (p<0,001) e espessura gengival (p<0,001) para os grupos teste e controle, respectivamente, com diferença significativa entre os grupos de tratamento. O protocolo de tratamento proposto também foi capaz melhorar a qualidade de vida (p<0,001). CONCLUSÃO: Ambos os tratamentos resultaram em melhoria dos parâmetros clínicos avaliados em seis meses de acompanhamento. A matriz de colágeno representa uma excelente alternativa ao enxerto de tecido conjuntivo subepitelial no tratamento de recessões gengivais unitárias em fenótipo gengival fino (AU).
Gingival recession may cause dental hypersensitivity, esthetical discomfort and increase the prevalence of carious or non-carious cervical lesion. Root coverage procedures using grafts placement has been the gold standard on this treatment. AIM: To compare the root coverage performed connective tissue graft and collagen matrix using the extended flap technique in single gingival recessions in thin gingival phenotype, at 6 months of follow- up. METHOD: This controlled, randomized, double-blind, split-mouth, clinical trial evaluated 28 patients with bilateral gingival recession subjected to root coverage procedure through extended flap technique with subepithelial connective tissue graft (control) and xenogenic collagen matrix (test). The parameters evaluated were deep on probing, gingival recession, clinical attachment level, keratinized mucosa and bleeding on probing for teeth that received the graft and the distal and mesial teeth. In addition, gingival thickness and gingival phenotype change of the teeth that received the grafts, postoperative pain and quality of life through Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, at baseline, three and six months after surgery. The data were statistically analyzed through the tests of Friedman, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, Qui-quadrado, McNemar, ANOVA and t Test. The significance level of 5% was pre-estlablished. RESULTS: 14 men and 14 women were included, with an average of 30.3 years (± 6.2). Statistically significant reductions were observed for gingival recession and clinical attachment level significant increase of both teeth of the grafts (p <0.001), distal (p=0.001) and mesial (p<0.001) teeth, within each group and in both treatment groups, during the follow-up. In addition, there was keratinized mucosa significant increase (p <0.001) and gingival thickness (p<0.001) for test and control group, respectively, with statistical difference between groups. The treatment protocol was able to improve the quality of lite (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Both treatments resulted in improved clinical parameters at six months of follow-up. The collagen matrix represents an excellent alternative to the subepithelial connective tissue graft in the treatment of single gingival recessions in thin gingival phenotype (AU)

Mucogingival surgery is a general term for periodontal surgeries that correct aberrant periodontal soft tissues. Conventional mucogingival surgeries with pedicle flap or autologous soft tissue graft for treatment of gingival recession and insufficient keratinized tissues are always related to disadvantages such as need for a second surgery site, limited supplies, and complaints for postoperative discomfort. In this regard, research and application of soft tissue substitutes have gained increasing attention. Various kinds of soft tissue substitutes, including acellular dermal matrix and xenogeneic collagen matrix, have been developed and applied to clinical treatment. This review aims to summarize advances in research of the characteristics and clinical effectiveness of several soft tissue substitutes and provide references for clinical application.

Abstract This trial evaluated the preemptive and postoperative effect of dexamethasone and ibuprofen on prevention of pain/discomfort, edema and interference in daily life in patients undergoing root coverage combined with subepithelial connective tissue graft (CAF + CTG). Twenty patients were randomly assigned as follows: NSAID Group: 400mg Ibuprofen 60 min preemptive + 400mg Ibuprofen postoperative; or SAID Group: 4mg Dexamethasone 60 min preemptive + 4mg Dexamethasone postoperative. The postoperative medication was administered 8 and 16 h post-surgery. Each patient received questionnaires based on a numeric scale (101-point numeric scale rate [NRS-101]) and multiple choice questions (four-point verbal rating scale [VRS-4]) about trans-operative pain/discomfort, hourly for 8 h after surgery and once a day for three days. A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for edema and interference in daily life during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th day was also answered. The degree of anxiety was rated statistically by the Chi-square test. The Mann-Whitney and Friedman tests were used for the other questionnaires. The surgery time and number of analgesic pills consumed were compared using Student's t-test. Patients who used dexamethasone presented a trend toward less pain when compared to individuals who ingested ibuprofen, with a significant difference observed 3 h after the procedure (p<0.05). The use of dexamethasone also promoted less edema until the 2nd day and lower interference in daily life on the third day when compared with ibuprofen (p<0.05). We concluded that the use of dexamethasone as a preemptive and postoperative medication was more suitable as a drug therapeutic protocol for CAF + CTG.
Resumo Este estudo avaliou o efeito preventivo e pós-operatório de dexametasona e ibuprofeno na prevenção da dor, desconforto, edema e interferência na vida diária, em pacientes submetidos ao recobrimento radicular associado a enxerto de tecido conjuntivo subepitelial (CAF + CTG). Vinte pacientes foram divididos aleatoriamente: Grupo AINES: Ibuprofeno 400 mg 60 min antes da cirurgia + Ibuprofeno 400 mg no período pós-operatório e Grupo AIES: 4 mg de dexametasona 60 min antes da cirurgia + Dexametasona 4mg no pós-operatório. A medicação pós-operatória foi administrada 8 e 16 horas pós-cirurgia. Cada paciente recebeu questionários com base na escala numérica NRS-101 (101 pontos numéricos) e perguntas de múltipla escolha (VRS-4) sobre dor / desconforto no período transoperatório, de hora em hora durante 8 h e uma vez por dia durante três dias após a cirurgia. A Escala Visual Analógica (VAS) para análise de edema e interferência na vida diária também foi respondida no 1º, 2º, 3º e 7º dia após a cirurgia. O grau de ansiedade foi estatisticamente avaliado pelo teste do Qui-quadrado. Mann-Whitney e Friedman foram utilizados para os demais questionários. Para o tempo de cirurgia e o número de analgésicos consumidos, o teste t de Student foi aplicado. Os pacientes que utilizaram dexametasona apresentaram uma tendência para menores níveis de dor quando comparados aos indivíduos que ingeriram ibuprofeno, com diferença significativa observada 3 h após o procedimento cirúrgico (p<0,05). A utilização de dexametasona também promoveu menores níveis de edema até ao segundo dia e menor interferência na vida diária no terceiro dia, quando comparada com o ibuprofeno (p<0,05). Concluiu-se que a utilização de dexametasona como medicamento preventivo e pós-operatório mostra ser mais adequado como protocolo medicamentosos para cirurgias de recobrimento radicular com associação de enxerto de tecido conjuntivo.
