Effects of autologous concentrated growth factor on gingival thickness in periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics: a 6-month randomized controlled trial

ABSTRACT:

Background

Earlier studies have not given clear results of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on gingival thickness (GT) in periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO). This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of CGF on GT in patients with thin gingival phenotype undergoing PAOO.

Methods

Forty four patients presenting 264 anterior mandibular teeth were recruited and randomly allocated to one of the groups: test—positioning of autologous CGF after PAOO or control—positioning of a collagen membrane after PAOO. GT, gingival height (GH), buccal alveolar bone thickness (BT), and buccal alveolar bone height (BH) were evaluated depending on cross-sectional CBCT images at t0 (before surgery) and t1(6 months after surgery).

Results

GT were increased in both groups at t1 compared to t0. Yet, higher values were observed in the test group (from 0.94 ± 0.23 to 1.31 ± 0.33 mm) compared to the control group (from 0.94 ± 0.19 to 1.02 ± 0.16 mm) (p < 0.05). Moreover, in the intergroup comparison, GT at t1 in the test group was significantly higher compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the GT of central incisors, lateral incisors and canine teeth all showed significantly changes compared with baseline and the test group showed higher increase (p < 0.01). No statistically significant difference were found in GH, BT, BH and all clinical parameters between two groups at t1 (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

Within the limitation of this study, gingival thickness could be increased by using CGF in PAOO for the patients with thin gingival phenotype. Trial registration The study was registered in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx) under the number ChiCTRINR17013346, Registered 11 November 2017.

Project description:Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) combines periodontal therapy with orthodontic therapy, which minimises treatment time. This study compared the effectiveness of a bovine-derived xenograft with that of bioactive glass when combined with PAOO for the treatment of adult patients with moderate crowding of the teeth.In this prospective, single-masked clinical trial, 33 orthodontic patients (20 women, 13 men; mean age 21.2?±?1.43 [18?-?27] years), were randomly allocated to one of three groups. Group 1 underwent a modified corticotomy technique on the labial side only, whereas group 2 was treated with the same technique combined with PAOO using a bovine-derived xenograft and group 3 was treated in the same way but combining PAOO with bioactive glass. The total treatment duration was recorded from the start of active orthodontic treatment, immediately after corticotomy, and at the time of debonding. Probing depth was evaluated clinically and bone density and root length were evaluated radiographically on the day of surgery (baseline, T1), post-treatment at debonding (T2), and 9 months post-treatment (T3).The duration of orthodontic treatment was markedly reduced to an average of 11.4?±?0.14 weeks in all groups. All probing depths were?<?3 mm, the interdental papillae were well preserved, there was no loss of tooth vitality, and there was no evidence of significant apical root resorption at any time interval. All groups showed a decrease in mean bone density at T2 followed by an increase at T3. The net percentage change that occurred between baseline and 9 months post-treatment was significantly different between the three groups. Groups 2 and 3, where grafts were incorporated, demonstrated a statistically significant greater increase in bone density than group 1 at T3.Combination of orthodontic treatment and periodontal surgery is an effective treatment for adult patients that decreases the duration of active treatment and reduces the risk of root resorption. Use of a bovine-derived xenograft with modified corticotomy provided superior benefits in terms of increased bone density than did the use of bioactive glass.The study was retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT02796911 .

Project description:Background Only a few studies have reported levels of pain, discomfort, functional impairments, and patients' satisfaction after undergoing periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO). Therefore, the objectives were to evaluate postoperative pain, discomfort, functional impairments, and satisfaction following this surgical intervention. Methods A prospective cohort study was undertaken at the Department of Orthodontics, University of Damascus Dental School, between August 2018 and November 2020. The sample consisted of 16 patients (4 males, 12 females, mean age: 21±3.05 years) with moderately crowded lower anterior teeth who underwent full-thickness vestibular flap elevation followed by cortical cuts using piezosurgery. Then a bovine xenograft was applied before reflecting the flap and suturing. Fixed orthodontic therapy was then initiated. Questionnaires were administered to assess the levels of pain, discomfort, and oral functional problems using a visual analog scale (VAS) at one day, seven days, 14 days, and 28 days after surgery. The level of satisfaction was also assessed at 28 days postoperatively. Friedman's test was employed, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used for post-hoc tests with an adjusted alpha level. Results On the first day following the PAOO, the mean values of perceived pain, discomfort, swelling, mastication difficulties, swallowing problems, limitation in jaw movements were 80.00, 80.63, 68.13, 78.13, 55.00, and 64.38, respectively. These mean values dropped significantly in the following assessment times (P<0.001). At 28 days following the PAOO, the mean satisfaction score was 84.94±22.46. All patients mentioned that they took painkillers after the surgical intervention. Conclusions On the first day following surgery, patients perceived high levels of pain and discomfort, moderate to severe levels of swelling and chewing difficulties, and suffered from restricted jaw movement. These levels decreased significantly in the following assessment times. Patients' satisfaction with the PAOO procedure was high.
