The Evaluation of the Deepithelialized Gingival Graft Healing

TC Erciyes University40 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study was to compare of the effects of different fixation methods on deepithelialized gingival graft wound healing. Laser doppler flowmetry method was used to determine for blood perfusion changes. 40 patients were devided into two groups randomly and deepithelialized gingival graft procedure was performed and healings were evaluated by laser doppler flowmetry.

This study evaluates the effects of different fixation methods on the early healing period of deepithelialized gingival grafts placed for non-root coverage gingival augmentation by laser Doppler flowmetry Forty patients were assigned to study groups: 1)test : tissue adhesive or 2) control group: suture. Forty patients completed the study. Blood perfusion in the recipient site was measured by laser doppler flowmetry on the day of surgery and at 3 and 7 days after surgery. Quality of life and pain at recipient sites were also investigated.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

deepithelialized gingival graft blood perfusion change

Blood perfusions (units) were measured by laser doppler flowmetry

Time frame: measurements were performed at the day of surgery, 1, 3 and 7 days.

Secondary Outcomes

Deepithelialized gingival graft recipient bed pain changes

In this evaluations, we did not evaluate the total range we used subscale pain evaluation by visual analog scale. visual analog scale consisted of 10 units,in combination with a graphic rating scale.On the visual analog scale,the left and right end of the graphic represented the absence of pain (minimum 0)(score 0) and the most severe pain (maximum 10) (score 10),respectively. Patients were warned to complete the visual analog scale taking into consideration the intensity of their pain in the previous 24 hours on all recall days

Time frame: measurements were performed at 1, 3 and 7 days post surgery.
