Porcine Acellular Dermal Matrix for the Treatment of Localized Gingival Recessions

Brazil40 participantsStarted 2022-09-10

Plain-language summary

Aim: The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the use of the porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) for the treatment of RT1 localized gingival recessions. Material and methods: Forthy patients (n=20) with RT1 localized gingival recessions with height ranging from 3 to 5 mm with and at least, 2mm of keratinized tissue width will be selected to participate in the study. Patients will be allocated randomly in two treatment groups: Coronally advanced flap (CAF) or coronally advanced flap associated with the porcine acellular dermal matrix (CAF+ PADM). The clinical parameters evaluated at the baseline, 6 and 12 months will be: Plaque index (IPL); gingival index (GI); relative gingival recession height (RGRH); gingival recession width (GRW); probing depth (PD); relative clinical attachment level (RCAL); keratinized tissue height (KTH); keratinized tissue thickness (KTT); papilla height (PH). Evaluations will be made by the professional and the patient regarding dentin hypersensitivity (HD) (Schiff and VAS scales respectively), aesthetics (RES and VAS scales, respectively) and patient\'s centered outcomes, through the questionnaire referring to the OHIP-14. Descriptive statistical analysis will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), median, quartiles, percentages and confidence intervals (95% CI). To analyze the normality of the residue, the Shapiro-Wilk test will be performed. Then, the Wilcoxon test will be applied to compare the periodontal parameters and a quality of life, before and post-treatment. Correlations between parameters and dental hypersensitivity will be analyzed through Spearman\'s test. Key words: Gingival recession, Root coverage, Biomaterial, Acellular dermal matrix.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
