Abstract
AimTo evaluate the 3‐year stability of root coverage outcomes following treatment with a coronally advanced flap (CAF) and a volume‐stable, cross‐linked xenogeneic collagen matrix (VCMX), either soaked in recombinant human platelet–derived growth factor‐BB (rhPDGF, test arm) or sterile saline (control arm).MethodsOf the original 30 participants in the triple‐blind, randomised, placebo‐controlled trial, 26 were available for follow‐up at 1 and 3 years. The primary outcome was mean root coverage (mRC) at 3 years compared to the 6‐month results. Secondary outcomes included complete root coverage, keratinised tissue width, gingival thickness, volumetric and aesthetic changes, patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) and ultrasonographic tissue properties. Untreated contralateral teeth were also assessed.ResultsFrom 6 months to 3 years, mRC decreased by 6.7% in the control arm and 7.5% in the test arm (p > 0.05). Over 90% of treated sites maintained a stable gingival margin (≤ 0.5 mm shift). No significant inter‐group differences were found for volumetric, aesthetic or PROM outcomes. Ultrasonography revealed increased tissue elasticity in treated sites. In contrast, untreated contralateral sites showed progressive gingival recession and increased hypersensitivity (p < 0.001).ConclusionBoth VCMX treatments demonstrated stable clinical and ultrasonographic outcomes over 3 years, while untreated sites showed signs of soft‐tissue deterioration.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
