“…Other studies aiming to increase the success of the FGG operation and its effect on clinical periodontal parameters have generally evaluated the combination of the FGG operation and locally applied agents or materials. 21,22 For this purpose, injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF), 23 commercially available fibrin-fibronectin closure system (Tissucol), 24 topical hyaluronic acid, 19 low-level laser application, 25 EDTA, citric acid, chemicals such as tetracycline 26 and the newly developed stent 20 have been used. In this study, 5 U BTX-A injection applied to the mentalis muscle and the FGG operation have been combined.…”

ObjectiveThe purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the effects of Botulinum Toxin‐A (BTX‐A) injection into the mentalis muscle on the free gingival graft (FGG).Materials and MethodsForty patients with keratinized gingiva insufficiency and Cairo's RT 2 gingival recession (formerly classified as Miller class III) in their mandibular central incisors were randomly divided into two groups: FGG and FGG + BTX. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), keratinized gingiva width (KGW), attached gingiva width (AGW), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival thickness (GT), gingival recession amount (GRA), gingival recession width (GRW), and root closure percentage (RCP%) parameters were measured at baseline and at first, third, and sixth months after the operation.ResultsThere was no difference in PI, GI, and PPD levels in both groups (p > 0.05). While the change in GT and RCP% levels were found to be statistically significantly higher at FGG + BTX group than FGG group, the change in GRW and CAL levels were statistically significantly lower (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe findings of this study indicate that BTX‐A injection applied to the mentalis muscle after FGG operation may have positive effects in terms of KGW, AGW, GT, RCP%, GRW, and CAL parameters.Clinical SignificanceAs a result of the fact that BTX‐A injection into the mentalis muscle contributed to the nutrition and immobility of FGG, positive developments were obtained in terms of clinical periodontal parameters. BTX‐A injection into the mentalis muscle may be an alternative method that increases the success rate of Cairo's RT 2 gingival recession.
