Xenogenous Collagen Matrix and/or Enamel Matrix Derivative for Treatment of Localized Gingival Recessions: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Part II: Patient‐Reported Outcomes

Abstract

Root coverage procedures improve patient OHRQoL by impacting on a wide range of dimensions, perceived after reduction of CDH and esthetic dissatisfaction of patients with GRs treated with CAF + CM, CAF + EMD, and CAF + CM + EMD.

Root coverage procedures for treating single and multiple recession‐type defects: An updated Cochrane systematic review

“…Forty‐eight studies (reported in 57 papers) were included in the review, with 20 providing data for meta‐analyses. Nine RCTs had their data reported in two articles each (i.e., according to the follow‐up period or type of data (i.e., clinical or patient‐reported outcomes) . Consequently, the papers with a shorter follow‐up period were included under the one study name (e.g., papers with the longer follow‐up), while one article reporting patient‐reported outcomes was included under the name of the clinical outcomes paper .…”

“…Although 48 RCTs were included in this Cochrane SR, it was difficult to combine data from these trials due to a great variability of comparisons between the various RC procedures and the inexistence of a unique gold standard control group in all studies. Consequently, only 20 trials were incorporated into meta‐analyses in 11 different group comparisons (Table ). Few studies reported a follow‐up period superior to 12 months .…”

Biologics‐based regenerative technologies for periodontal soft tissue engineering

“…Similarly, other studies have suggested that combining allografts to EMD may enhance the clinical outcomes, probably due to the scaffold role of the graft material that contributes to the stability of the wound and maintains the space necessary for periodontal regeneration. In addition, the potential role of EMD in improving the esthetic results and patient satisfaction has been reported . Lastly, it should be mentioned that the addition of biologics has been found to be beneficial in smokers as compared to surgery alone …”

Serbest Dişeti Grefti Uygulamalarının Uzun Dönemde Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisinin Değerlendirilmesi

“…Ağız sağlığı etki profili -14 [Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14)] bireyin genel sağlık durumunu ifade eden, yalnızca ağız sağlığı ile ilgili hususları değil aynı zamanda fiziksel, zihinsel ve sosyal durumları değerlendiren bir ölçek sistemidir [11]. Bu kavram, mevcut dişeti durumu için hastanın genel sağlığı ve tercihleri değerlendirildiğinde ilgili tedavi seçenekleri arasında nasıl tercih yapılacağı ile ilgili önemli bir etkiye sahiptir [12]. Bu yüzden, oral koşulların yaşam kalitesi üzerin-deki etkisinin ölçülmesi önem kazanmıştır; çünkü tek başına klinik göstergeler, semptomların iyileşmesi, hasta memnuniyeti, yapılan işlemlerin hayat kalitelerine etkisini ve günlük aktiviteleri gerçekleştirme becerileri ile ilgili hasta algısını tam olarak yansıtmayabilmektedir [13] Önceki çalışmalarda [11,19] operasyon sonrası OHIP-14 skorları ile operasyon sonrası 3. veya 6. aydaki OHIP-14 skorları arasında istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir.…”
