Clinical Evaluation of a Modified Technique for Free Gingival Graft Stabilization Using Titanium Fixation Tacs Around Implants Versus Conventional Suturing Technique

Clinical Evaluation of a Modified Technique for Free Gingival Graft Stabilization Using Titanium Fixation Tacs Around Implants Versus Conventional Suturing Technique: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Sponsor

Cairo University

Enrollment

26 participants

Start Date

Nov 2, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Free Gingival GraftSoft Tissue Augmentation Around Dental ImplantsInadequate Keratinized Tissue Around Dental Implants

Summary

The aim of this randomized, controlled, parallel-grouped, clinical trial is to evaluate the width of keratinized gingiva after free gingival graft stabilized by titanium fixation tacs compared to traditional suturing. Research question: In patients with inadequate keratinized gingiva undergoing soft tissue augmentation by free gingival graft , will graft stabilization using Titanium fixation tacs affect the amount of keratinized tissue gain compared to graft stabilization using sutures ?
