Evaluation of a novel restorative protocol to treat non-carious cervical lesion associated with gingival recession: a 2-year follow-up randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: To compare 2 different resin composites and 2 adhesive systems used in a new restorative protocol (partial restoration) to treat non-carious cervical lesions associated with gingival recession type 1 (RT1). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eighty combined defects (CDs) were treated with a partial restoration and periodontal plastic surgery for root coverage. The CDs were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: NP + TE (n = 20), nanofilled composite and 2-step total-etch adhesive system; NP + UA (n = 20), nanofilled composite and universal adhesive system; MH + TE (n = 20), microhybrid composite and 2-step total-etch adhesive; MH + UA (n = 20), microhybrid composite and universal adhesive. Restorations were assessed using the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria at 1 week (baseline) and 6, 12, and 24 months. Survival rate, periodontal parameters, dentin hypersensitivity (DH), and aesthetics were also evaluated. RESULTS: After 24 months, only the MH + TE group did not lose any restoration, with no significant differences between groups. For surface roughness parameter, MH presented 83.3% of the restorations scoring Bravo, whereas NP presented 48.5% of the restorations scoring Bravo. All groups presented restorations with marginal discoloration. All periodontal parameters behaved similarly, regardless of the restorative material. All groups presented significant reductions of dentin hypersensitivity and improved aesthetic perceptions (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Both resin composites and adhesives tested can be combined for partial restorations to treat CDs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This new restorative-surgical protocol to treat CDs presents satisfactory outcomes. The partial restorations can be successfully executed with both combinations of adhesives and resin composites evaluated in this investigation.

Single gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesion treated by partial restoration and coronally advanced flap with or without xenogenous collagen matrix: A randomized clinical trial evaluating the coverage procedures and restorative protocol.

BACKGROUND: Evaluate the use of collagen matrix (CM) as adjunctive to coronally advanced flap (CAF versus CAF + CM) to treat gingival recession (GR) associated with non-carious cervical lesion-combined defects (CDs). METHODS: Sixty-two patients presenting 62 CDs (RT1 GR and non-carious cervical lesion (NCCLs) were randomly allocated to either CAF group (n = 31): partial restoration of the NCCL and CAF; or to CAF + CM group (n = 31): partial restoration of the NCCL and CAF associated with CM. Clinical, esthetic, patient-centered outcomes, and restorative parameters were assessed. RESULTS: After 12 months, CD coverage were 55.2% for CAF and 54.4% for CAF + CM (P = 0.8). Recession reduction were 1.9 ± 0.8 mm for CAF and 2.0 ± 0.7 mm for CAF + CM (P = 0.6). CAF+CM resulted in higher increase in keratinized tissue (KT) width (CAF: 0.3 ± 0.7 mm; CAF + CM: 0.9 ± 0.8 mm; P = 0.004) and KT thickness gain (CAF: 0.1 ± 0.3 mm; CAF + CM: 0.7 ± 0.2 mm; P = 0.001). Both treatments presented low postoperative pain and resulted in esthetics improvements. In addition, no restoration was lost, 27.4% showed a reduction of the superficial polishing, and 8% showed marginal staining, but still clinically acceptable. CONCLUSION: Partial resin composite restoration (with the apical limit up to 1 mm of the estimated CEJ) and CAF alone or combined with CM are suitable for treating CDs. The use of CM provided additional benefits in terms of KT width and thickness gain. (NCT03341598).

Retalho posicionado coronariamente associado ou não ao enxerto de matriz colágena xenógena no tratamento de dentes que apresentam recessão gengival associada à lesão cervical não-cariosa parcialmente restauradas com resina composta: estudo clínico controlado randomizado / Coronally advanced flap associated to the xenogenous collagen matrix graft in the treatment of teeth presenting gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesion partially restored with composite resin. Randomized clinical trial

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar um novo protocolo multidisciplinar por meio de um estudo clínico randomizado. Para tal, foram selecionados 62 pacientes alocados aleatoriamente em um dos seguintes grupos: Grupo Teste (n=31), restauração parcial da lesão cervical e cirurgia para recobrimento radicular com enxerto de enxerto de matriz colágena xenógena de origem suína (CAF + MC+ R), Grupo Controle (n=31), restauração parcial da lesão cervical e recobrimento radicular sem enxerto (CAF). Os grupos foram comparados quanto ao sangramento à sondagem (SS), acúmulo de biofilme (IP), redução na recessão gengival (RGR) ganho no nível clínico de inserção (NIC), redução da hipersensibilidade dentinária (SD) e na avaliação estética (MRES) durante um período de 1 ano. Os parâmetros de altura, largura e profundidade da lesão cervical (ALC, LLC e PLC) e altura e espessura de tecido queratinizado (ATQ e ETQ), foram colocados como variáveis independentes em um modelo de regressão linear múltipla para avaliar a influência dos mesmos no resultado final dos procedimentos. Após 1 ano, as porcentagens médias de recobrimento da altura da lesão cervical não-cariosa foram de 52,83% para o grupo (CAF+R) e 52,65 % para o grupo (CAF+MG+R), sem diferença estatística entre eles. Foi notada diferença estatisticamente significante quanto à altura e a espessura do tecido queratinizado a favor do grupo com mucograft. Nos demais parâmetros, não houve diferenças significantes. Assim pode-se concluir que os dois tratamentos resultaram em significativa redução do defeito combinado, sem diferença entre os tratamentos, embora benefício adicional relacionado à altura e espessura de tecido queratinizado tenha sido observado quando o enxerto xenógeno de matriz de colágeno foi utilizado(AU)

The aim of this study is to evaluate a new multidisciplinary protocol by means of a randomized controlled clinical trial. Were it selected 62 patients who will be randomly allocated to one of the following groups: Test group (n = 31), partial restoration of cervical lesion and surgery for root coverage with graft collagen matrix xenogenous (MCG + PR) and control group (n = 31), partial restoration of cervical lesion and surgery for root coverage without connective tissue graft (CAF + PR). The groups were compared as to bleeding on probing (BOP), biofilm accumulation (IP), relative gingival recession (RGR) clinical attachment level (CAL), decrease of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) and aesthetic evaluation (AE) for a period of 1 year. The parameters of height, width and depth of the cervical lesion (CLH, CLW and CLD) and height and thickness of keratinized tissue (KTH and KTT), were placed as independent variables in a multiple linear regression model to evaluate their influence on the final outcome of the procedures. Average percentage rates of root coverage for test and control group were 52.83% and 53.65%, respectively. No significant statistical difference between test and control was observed regarding root coverage. A statistically significant difference was observed when height and thickness of the keratinized tissue favored the group with mucograft. When the other parameters were compared between the two groups, no difference was found. Thus, it can be concluded that the two treatments resulted in a significant reduction of the combined defect, with no difference between the treatments, although additional benefit related to keratinized tissue height and thickness was observed when the xenogen matrix of collagen was used(AU)

Treatment of single maxillary gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesion: Randomized clinical trial comparing connective tissue graft alone to graft plus partial restoration.

BACKGROUND: Gingival recession (GR) is frequently associated with non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL) forming a combined defect (CD). The aim of this study was to evaluate a new multidisciplinary protocol for CDs. METHODS: Forty patients presenting 40 Miller's Class I or II GR defects associated with B+ tooth cervical defect were randomly allocated to one of the following treatments: test group (n = 20), partial restoration (PR) of the NCCL, in which the apical border of the restoration was placed 1 mm beyond the cement-enamel junction estimation, and connective tissue graft (CTG + PR) and Control Group (n = 20), odontoplasty of the NCCL and connective tissue graft (CTG). Clinical, aesthetic and patient-centred outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: After 12 months, CD coverage rates were 75.3% (2.5 ± 1.0 mm) for CTG + PR and 74.6% (2.4 ± 1.1 mm) for CTG (p > 0.05). The estimated complete root coverage was 60% (n = 12) for CTG + PR and 70% (n = 14) for CTG. CTG + PR resulted in significantly better dentin hypersensitivity (DH) reduction (p = 0.034). Both groups resulted in aesthetic improvements; however, the CTG + PR group showed better gingival contour results. CONCLUSIONS: CTG and CTG + PR were effective to treat CD. Use of PR resulted in better gingival margin contour and DH reduction, without effect on CD coverage by CTG. (NCT02817763).

Nova abordagem no tratamento de recessões gengivais associadas à lesão cervical não cariosa / New approach in the treatment of gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesion ­ case report

A recessão gengival está frequentemente associada à lesão cervical não cariosa (LCNC), originando uma lesão combinada que tem um prognóstico de tratamento diferente de quando as duas lesões se apresentam sozinhas. Tratamentos propostos possuem limitações, e o protocolo clínico ideal para o manejo dessas lesões ainda não foi estabelecido. Assim, o objetivo do presente relato de caso foi apresentar uma nova técnica cirúrgico-restauradora para o tratamento de recessões gengivais associadas à LCNC. Para tal, uma restauração parcial em resina composta foi realizada somente na parte coronal da lesão cervical. Em uma segunda sessão, o procedimento cirúrgico para recobrimento radicular com enxerto de tecido conjuntivo foi realizado. Seis meses após o procedimento, a paciente estava satisfeita com o resultado final alcançado, demonstrando que esse protocolo pode ser uma alternativa de tratamento aos protocolos existentes para o tratamento de recessões gengivais associadas à LCNC.

Gingival recession is often associated with non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL), resulting in a combined lesion which has a different treatment prognosis when the two lesions appear alone. Proposed treatments have limitations and the ideal clinical protocol for the management of these lesions has not been established. Thus, the aim of this case report is to present a new surgical-restorative technique for the treatment of gingival recessions associated with NCCL. For this, a composite resin partial restoration was performed only in the coronal part of the cervical lesion. In a second session, the surgical procedure for root coverage with connective tissue graft was performed. Six months after the procedure, the patient was satisfied with the final result achieved, demonstrating that this protocol may be an alternative to the existing protocols for the treatment of gingival recessions associated with NCCL.

Connective Tissue Graft and Crown-Resin Composite Restoration for the Treatment of Gingival Recession Associated with Noncarious Cervical Lesions: Case Series.

The purpose of this case series is to describe a restorative and surgical approach to treat the combined defect (CD)-gingival recession associated with noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL)-through connective tissue graft in combination with partial resin composite filling, restoring the crown zone plus 1 mm of the NCCL. A total of 10 patients were included. Bleeding on probing, probing depth, relative gingival recession, clinical attachment level, CD height, and dentin hypersensitivity were measured. The treatment provided statistically significant gain in clinical attachment level and shallow probing depths. The percentage of the combined defect coverage was 70% ± 20.2%. It can be concluded that this treatment protocol, in the presence of a partial resin composite restoration, can be used successfully to treat CD.

Connective tissue graft and tunnel or trapezoidal flap for the treatment of single maxillary gingival recessions: a randomized clinical trial.

BACKGROUND: Although ample evidence supports connective tissue graft (CTG) use for root coverage, there is need for research on recipient site preparation approaches. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of trapezoidal coronally advanced flap (CAF) and coronally advanced tunnel flap (TUN) when used in conjunction with CTG. METHODS: Forty-two patients presenting 42 single maxillary, Miller Class I and II, gingival recession defects were randomly assigned to receive either CAF + CTG (N = 21) or TUN + CTG (N = 21). Clinical, patient-centred, and aesthetic outcomes were assessed. RESULTS: Six months postoperatively, both groups resulted in significant reduction in recession depth and increases in keratinized tissue thickness and width. CAF + CTG and TUN + CTG mean root coverage was 87.2 ± 27.1% and 77.4 ± 20.4% respectively (p = 0.02). Complete root coverage was achieved in 71.4% and 28.6% of defects treated with CAF + CTG and TUN + CTG respectively (p = 0.01). At 7 days postoperatively, TUN + CTG patients reported significantly less pain experience (p = 0.04). Both approaches reduced dentine hypersensitivity by approximately 85% (p < 0.05). Patient-based aesthetic evaluation indicated significant improvement for both groups. Although patient- and professional-based aesthetic assessments revealed no differences between groups, tissue texture was significantly better for TUN + CTG (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: For root coverage of single maxillary recession defects, CAF + CTG was more effective than TUN + CTG (ClinicalTrial.org-NCT02814279).

A Novel Modification of Semilunar Coronally Advanced Flap for the Treatment of Gingival Recession: Case Series.

This article aims to describe a modification of the semilunar coronally advanced flap. A total of 12 systemically and periodontally healthy patients presenting Miller Class I gingival recession were treated with the modified semilunar coronally advanced flap technique described in this article. After 1 year of follow-up, the mean root coverage was 85.4% ± 24.7%. Significant gingival recession reduction, clinical attachment gain, and reduction in dentin sensitivity was observed 1 year after surgery. This novel semilunar coronally advanced flap technique was demonstrated to be effective for root coverage in Miller Class I gingival recessions.

Comparison of two power densities on the healing of palatal wounds after connective tissue graft removal: randomized clinical trial.

UNLABELLED: Connective tissue graft (CTG), which is considered to be among the best techniques for treating gingival recession, has presented stable long-term results. However, this technique causes morbidity and discomfort in the palatine region due to graft removal at that site. A previous study reports that photobiomodulation (PBM) using a dosage of 15 J/cm(2) may improve wound healing and the patient's postoperative comfort. However, no other studies in the literature provide the best application dosage or comparisons between protocols for this purpose. The aim of this study is to compare two power densities of PBM on the wound-healing process of the donor palatine area after CTG removal. In this study, 51 patients presenting buccal gingival recession were randomized into one of the following groups: group 1: CTG procedure for root coverage and PBM application at the donor site using a 60 J/cm(2) dose; group 2: CTG and PBM application using a 30 J/cm(2) dose; or group 3: CTG and sham application. The evaluated parameters were the wound remaining area (WRA), scar and tissue colorimetry (TC), tissue thickness (TT), and postoperative discomfort (D), evaluated at baseline and 7, 14, 45, 60, and 90 days after surgery. Group 1 presented statistically significant smaller wounds at day 7 (p > 0.05). None of the patients presented scars at the operated area, and all of the patients reported mild discomfort, with low consumption of analgesic pills. We concluded that the protocol of 60 J/cm(2) provided faster wound healing 7 days after removing the connective tissue graft for root coverage.

Resin composite plus connective tissue graft to treat single maxillary gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesion: randomized clinical trial.

AIM: To evaluate clinically, the aesthetics and the patient-centred parameters after the treatment of gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesion by connective tissue graft alone or combined with a nanofilled resin composite restoration. METHODS: Thirty-six patients presenting one Miller Class I or II gingival recessions and B+ tooth cervical defect were included. The defects were treated by either connective tissue graft (CTG: control group; n = 18) or connective tissue graft plus resin composite restoration (CTG+RC: test group; n = 18). RESULTS: The mean percentage of defect coverage was 82.16 ± 16.1% for CTG and 73.84 ± 19.2% for CTG+RC after 1 year (p > 0.05). Both groups presented statistically significant improvements in two aesthetics evaluations. The professional evaluation (MRES) was 7.44 ± 2.3 for the CTG group and 7.52 ± 2.27 for CTG+RC after 1 year, with no significant difference between the groups. The two groups presented significant reduction of dentin sensitivity (DS), it decreased from 94.4% of the sites to 44.4% in the CTG group and from 88.8% to 5.5% in the CTG+RC group. CONCLUSIONS: CTG or CTG+RC can successfully treat gingival recession associated with B+ non-carious cervical lesion, but less sensitivity may be expected with the combined approach (NCT02423473).

Avaliação de uma nova abordagem cirúrgico-restauradora para tratamento de recessões gengivais associadas à lesão cervical não-cariosa: estudo clínico controlado randomizado / Evaluation of a new approach surgical restoration to treatment of the gingival recession associated with no - carious cervical lesion. Ramdomized clinical trial

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar um novo protocolo multidisciplinar por meio de um estudo clínico randomizado para o tratamento de recessões gengivais associadas à lesão cervical não-cariosa. Foram selecionados 40 pacientes alocados aleatoriamente em dois grupos: Grupo Teste (n=20), restauração parcial da lesão cervical e cirurgia para recobrimento radicular com enxerto de tecido conjuntivo (CTG+RP) e Grupo Controle (n=20), aplainamento da lesão cervical e cirurgia para recobrimento radicular com enxerto de tecido conjuntivo (CTG). Os grupos foram comparados quanto ao sangramento à sondagem (SS), índice de placa (IP), recessão gengival relativa (RGR), nível clínico de inserção (NIC), altura e largura das papilas (AL, LP),altura e espessura do tecido queratinizado (ATQ e ETQ), profundidade da lesão cervical (PLC), hipersensibilidade dentinária (HD) e na avaliação estética (MRES) durante um período de 6 meses. Após 6 meses, as porcentagens médias de recobrimento da altura da lesão cervical não-cariosa foram de 72,34±25,2 para o grupo teste e 74,85±33,1 para o grupo controle, sem diferença estatística entre eles. Foi notada diferença estatisticamente significante quando a hipersensibilidade cervical foi analisada. O grupo teste mostrou-se mais eficaz em 6 meses de acompanhamento na resolução desse sintoma (p=0,034). Na análise individual dos parâmetros da escala MRES, o grupo teste mostrou um melhor contorno gengival com diferença significante em relação ao grupo controle. Nos demais parâmetros, não houve diferenças significantes. Dentro dos limites do presente estudo, pode-se concluir que ambos os tratamentos foram efetivos e que a presença da restauração parcial de resina composta não interfere na taxa de recobrimento quando o retalho posicionado coronariamente associado ao enxerto de tecido conjuntivo é utilizado para o tratamento de recessões gengivais associadas à lesão cervical não-cariosa, além de proporcionar um melhor controle da ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate a new multidisciplinary protocol by means of a randomized controlled clinical trial for the treatment of gingival recession associated with cervical lesion non-carious. Were selected 40 patients randomly allocated to one of the following groups: Test group (n = 20), partial restoration of cervical lesion and surgery for root coverage with connective tissue graft (CTG + PR) and control group (n = 20), planning of non-carious cervical lesion and surgery for root coverage with connective tissue graft (CTG + RT). The groups were compared as to bleeding on probing (BOP), biofilm accumulation (IP), relative gingival recession (RGR), clinical attachment level (CAL), height and width of papillae (PH, PW), height and thickness of keratinized tissue (KTH and KTT), depth of the cervical lesion (CLD), dentin hypersensitivity (DH) and aesthetic evaluation (AE) for a period of 6 months. Average percentage rates of root coverage for test and control group were 72.34% and 74.85%, respectively. No significant statistical difference between test and control was observed regarding root coverage. A significant difference (p=0.034) was found for dentin sensitivity when control and test were compared. The test group showed better results regarding this parameter. The individual aesthetic analysis of MRES parameters, the test group showed a better gingival contour with a significant difference compared to the control group. When the other parameters were compared between the two groups, no difference was found. Within the limits of this study it can be concluded that both treatments were effective and that the presence of the partial restoration composite resin does not affect the root coverage when the coronally advanced flap associated with connective tissue graft is used for the treatment of gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesion, and provide better control of dentin hypersensitivity and harmonious aesthetic results

Anatomical study of palato gingival groove on maxillary central incisors / Estudo anatômico do sulco palato-gengival em incisivos centrais superiores

O sulco palato-gengival (SPG) é uma anomalia de desenvolvimento que acomete principalmente os incisivos superiores. Inicia-se no ou perto do cíngulo dental, e sulca a raiz apresentando uma grande variedade de profundidades e comprimentos. Sua incidência, profundidade e comprimento, são de importância clínica, uma vez que em periodontia podem ser o agente causal de periodontites severa se localizadas, e na endodontia provocam a divisão do canal radicular e o aparecimento de foram es acessórios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um estudo sobre a presença, forma, comprimento e profundidade do sulco palato-gengival em incisivos centrais superiores. Foram utilizados 1.668 dentes incisivos centrais superiores da coleção de dentes da Disciplina de Anatomia do ICT - SJ Campos –UNESP. Cada dente teve a sua porção radicular inspecionada com a finalidade de verificar a presença e a profundidade do SPG. Os sulcos palato-gengivais encontrados foram classificados de acordo com o sistema proposto por Gu (2011), em: Tipo I (curtoe superficial), Tipo II (longo e superficial) e Tipo II (longo e profundo). Concluída esta classificação,todos os dentes que apresentaram o SPG foram radiografados e cinco dentes tiveram sua superfície radicular avaliada através do uso de um Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV). Finalmente foram separados quatro dentes representativos de cada tipo de SPG encontrado para a obtenção de cortes histológicos e subsequente análise microscópica.

Palatogingival groove (PGG) is a developmental anomaly affecting mainly the maxillary incisors.PGG incidence, depth, and length are clinically important because it may cause severe and localized periodontitis; and it may divide the root canal resulting in accessory foramina. This study aimed to analyze the presence, shape, length, and depth of the palatogingival groove in maxillary central incisors. 1,668 maxillary central incisors were used. Each tooth had its root portion inspected inorder to verify PGG presence and depth. The found palatogingival grooves were classified according tothe system proposed by Gu [5], as follows: Type I (short and superficial), Type II (long and superficial),and Type III (long and deep). All teeth that showed the grooves were radiographed; five teeth had their root surface analyzed through Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM); and four teeth corresponding to each PGG type were sent to obtain histological sections and then submitted to microscopic analysis.Of the 1.668 analyzed incisors, 27 (1.61%) showed the palatogingival groove: 8 (29.6%) Type I, 17(63%) type II, and 2 (7.4%) Type III. Microscopic analysis revealed no communication between PGGand root canal. In conclusion, our results showed that PGG can be clinically and radiographically diagnosed on maxillary central incisors, with the type II being the most common. The professionals should be aware of the features of this groove dueto its severe clinical consequences.

Tratamento cirúrgico restaurador de recessão gengival associada à lesão cervical não cariosa / Surgical-restorative treatment of gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesion. Case report

Recessão gengival é frequentemente associada a uma lesão cervical não cariosa. Alguns protocolos cirúrgicos restauradores foram propostos para o tratamento dessa lesão combinada. No entanto, esses protocolos possuem algumas limitações. Assim, o objetivo do presente relato de caso foi apresentar um protocolo alternativo para o tratamento de recessões gengivais associadas à lesão cervical não cariosa. Para tal, foi confeccionada uma restauração de resina composta somente na parte coronária da lesão dental; posteriormente, um retalho para tratamento de recessões múltiplas foi realizado, com incisões oblíquas nas papilas e sem incisões relaxantes, para maximizar a estética. Seis meses após o procedimento, o paciente estava satisfeito com o resultado final alcançado, demonstrando que esse protocolo pode ser uma alternativa de tratamento aos já existentes para o tratamento de lesões combinadas.

Gingival recession is often associated with non-carious cervical lesion. There are some available surgical-restorative approaches to deal with this combined lesion. However, these protocols may have some limitations. Therefore, the aim of the present case report is to present an alternative approach to treat the combined lesion. For this, a composite resin filling was performed only on the coronally zone of the cervical lesion. Afterwards, a surgical flap for multiples recessions was performed if order to cover al the recession. After six months, the patient was happy with the final result, showing that this procedure may be alternative to treat gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesion.
