Hydroxyapetite Nanoparticles and Tricalcium Phosphate Nanoparticles Loaded on Platelet Rich Fibrin Membranes for Treatment of Gingival Recession

Summary

The "Glossary of the American of Periodontology" defines gingival recession (GR) as the apical movement of the gingival margin beyond the cement-enamel junction. Therefore, root surface exposure brought on by gingival recession results in cosmetic impairment, fear of tooth loss, increased susceptibility to root caries, and dentin hypersensitivity. The use of free gingival grafts, sliding pedicle grafts, subepithelial connective tissue grafts, envelope or tunnelling techniques, the use of acellular dermal, connective tissue allografts, guided tissue regeneration, and coronally advanced flap (CAF) are the surgical methods that have been developed to treat gingival recession. The medical area has been invaded by nanotechnology, and the findings are highly promising. Nanomaterials perform far better than conventional materials thanks to their superior surface, size, and quantum effects. Hydroxyapatites (HAs) are a family of materials used for bone grafting that have a high level of biocompatibility, which is partly due to their inclusion in naturally calcified tissue. The aim of the present study was to compare between nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate carried on PRP membrane in treatment of Miller's class 1 gingival recession in human.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite loaded in PRF+ coronally advanced flap

Two horizontal incisions were made at right angles to the adjacent interdental papillae at the CEJ level without interfering with the gingival margin of the neighbouring teeth. To mobilize the flap, two oblique vertical releasing incisions were extended beyond the mucogingival junction. A full thick¬ness trapezoidal flap was then elevated up to the mucogingival junction, and follow¬ing penetration of the periosteum, a par¬tial thickness flap was dissected further apically. The papillae mesial and distal to the recession defects were deepithelialized. Following conditioning, the root surface was rinsed with sterile saline for 1 minute. Following conditioning, the root surface the PRF membrane loaded by nanocrystale hydroxyapatite was positioned to cover the recession up to CEJ. The flap was then coronally advanced to cover the membrane, and flap was closed using simple interrupted sutures. A periodontal dressing was placed over the recipient site for 10 days to protect the wounds.
