Summary

The goal of this clinical randomized trial is to examine the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid in treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions in 2 groups. Control group will be presented by using a coronally advanced flap only (CAF) and experimental group will be presented with addition of hyaluronic acid to a coronally advanced flap (CAF+HA). The main question it aims to answer is: is there any difference in the reduction of multiple gingival recessions between the control (CAF) and the test group (CAF + HA)? The research would be conducted on subjects referred for specialist treatment at the Department of Periodontology (Faculty of dental medicine, University of Zagreb). A record would be kept of all patients who underwent a detailed clinical examination, those who did not meet the criteria for inclusion in the study and those who refused to participate in it. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will undergo a detailed clinical examination and if they agree to participate in the research, they will sign the informed form. During the pre-treatment, patients will receive instructions and a demonstration on proper maintenance of oral hygiene as well as a teeth cleaning. In addition to the informed form, they will fill out the OHIP-14 questionnaire, and the researcher will measure the periodontal indices at the very beginning before the operation, as well as the Schiff index. Patients will be photographed at the baseline as well as at follow-up examinations. The total number of subjects would be 42, or 21 patients in the 2 observed groups. The control group refers to surgical intervention using a coronally advanced flap to cover multiple gingival recessions without the addition of hyaluronic acid (CAF) and the experimental group indicates the surgical intervention using a coronally advanced flap to cover multiple adjacent gingival recessions with the addition of hyaluronic acid intraoperatively (CAF + HA).

PROCEDURE

Testing the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid in experimental group using a coronally advanced flap compared to a control group using a coronally advanced flap only

The potential benefit of adding hyaluronic acid (HA) to the coronally advanced flap (CAF) operative technique to cover multiple adjacent recessions has not been sufficiently investigated. Improving aesthetics is one of the primary goals of root recession coverage periodontal surgery, and little is known about the same in multiple adjacent gingival recession coverage therapy. In patients with a sufficient amount (≥2 mm) of keratinized tissue, the coronally advanced flap (CAF) has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of multiple recessions, especially in terms of aesthetic results. The researchers concluded from a database search (Epistemonikos, Cochrane, Medline) that there is no evidence to support the use of HA + CAF to achieve greater root coverage in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions.
