Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft Versus Conventional Free Gingival Graft
Esthetic Evaluation of Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft (Ns-dFGG) Versus Conventional Free Gingival Graft (cFGG) for the Augmentation of The Keratinized Mucosa: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
October University for Modern Sciences and Arts
30 participants
Dec 29, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this (study type: RCT) is to learn if the use of the non-submerged de-epithelized FGG will result in better esthetic outcomes in adults. The main questions that it aims to answer are: * Does this procedure increase the width of keratinized tissue? * Does this procedure increase the depth of the vestibule? Researchers will compare this technique with the gold standard using the FGG to evaluate which technique provides better esthetics.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4

- Good oral hygiene.
Exclusion Criteria4
- Systemic conditions that prevent the patient from undergoing minor oral surgical procedures or hinder the healing process.
