tunnel technique with connective tissue graft versus coronally advanced flap with enamel matrix derivative for root coverage a rct using 3d digital Measuring Methods part i clinical and patient centred outcomes
Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2014Co-Authors: Otto Zuhr, Stephan F Rebele, Rony E Jung, David Schneider, Markus B HurzelerAbstract:Aim The aim of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) was to introduce 3D digital Measuring Methods for evaluating the outcomes after surgical root coverage (RC) and to assess the clinical performance of the tunnel technique with subepithelial connective tissue graft (TUN) versus the coronally advanced flap (CAF) with enamel matrix derivative in the treatment of shallow localized gingival recession defects. Material and Methods Twenty-four patients contributed a total of 47 Miller class I or II recessions for scientific evaluation. Clinical outcomes were evaluated at 6 and 12 months. Precise study models gained at baseline and follow-up examinations were optically scanned and virtually superimposed for digital evaluation of clinical outcome measures including percentage of RC and complete root coverage (CRC). Patient-centred outcomes were evaluated with questionnaires. Final aesthetic outcomes were assessed using the root coverage esthetic score (RES). Results At 12 months, RC was 98.4% for TUN-treated and 71.8% for CAF-treated defects (p = 0.0004). CRC was observed in 78.6% (TUN) and 21.4% (CAF) of the cases (p = 0.0070). Results for patient-centred outcomes were equivalent for both groups but evaluation of the final aesthetic outcomes using the RES revealed a significant difference (9.06 versus 6.92, p = 0.0034) in favour of TUN. Conclusions TUN resulted in significantly better clinical outcomes compared with CAF. The new Measuring method provided high accuracy and unforeseen precision in the evaluation of treatment outcomes after surgical RC.

tunnel technique with connective tissue graft versus coronally advanced flap with enamel matrix derivative for root coverage a rct using 3d digital Measuring Methods part ii volumetric studies on healing dynamics and gingival dimensions
Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2014Co-Authors: Stephan F Rebele, Otto Zuhr, Rony E Jung, David Schneider, Markus B HurzelerAbstract:AIM: The aim of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) was to compare the clinical performance of the tunnel technique with subepithelial connective tissue graft (TUN) versus a coronally advanced flap with enamel matrix derivative (CAF) in the treatment of gingival recession defects. The use of innovative 3D digital Measuring Methods allowed to study healing dynamics at connective tissue (CT)-grafted sites and to evaluate the influence of the thickness of the root covering soft tissues on the outcome of surgical root coverage. MATERIAL & Methods: Twenty-four patients contributed a total of 47 Miller class I or II recessions for scientific evaluation. Precise study models collected at baseline and follow-up examinations were optically scanned and virtually superimposed for digital evaluation of clinical outcome measures including mean marginal soft tissue thickness (THK). Healing dynamics were measured in a defined region of interest at CT-grafted sites where volume differences between time points were calculated. RESULTS: At 12 months, recession reduction as well as mean root coverage were significantly better at CT-grafted sites treated in the TUN group (1.94 mm and 98.4% respectively) compared to the non-augmented sites of the CAF group (1.17 mm and 71.8% respectively) and statistical analysis revealed a positive correlation of THK (1.63 mm TUN versus 0.91 mm CAF, p < 0.0001) to both these variables. Soft tissue healing following surgical root coverage with CT-grafting was mainly accomplished after 6 months, with around two-thirds of the augmented volume being maintained after 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: The TUN resulted in thicker gingiva and better clinical outcomes compared to CAF. Increased gingival thickness was associated with better surgical outcomes in terms of recession reduction and root coverage.
