9 Subjects who have diseases that affect bone metabolism excluding idiopathic osteoporosis
10 Subjects with a history of an autoimmune disease documented allergy or multiple allergies to any component of the agents used in this study
11 Acutely infected mucogingival defect site

Gingival Augmentation Procedure All surgical procedures will be performed on an outpatient basis A full periodontal and radiographic examination periapical radiographs will be conducted for each patient presurgically Before surgery subjects will receive professional dental cleaning At the time of surgery local anesthesia will be administered and the surgical procedure estimated to require approximately two hours will be performed

Immediately prior to and 1 3 6 months after surgery the following measurements will be made using a periodontal probe UNC-15 at the facial aspect of each tooth along the mucogingival defect extension plaque index PI gingival index GI probing depth PD recession depth RD recession width RW and keratinized tissue width KW Keratinized tissue thickness KT will be measured directly using sterile Kerr-files as well as indirectly by means of an ultrasonic device PIROP Biometric scanner G-scan Echoson Poland Intraoral scanning will be performed to assess surface changes Emerald Planmeca Finland Resistance to muscle pull based on whether the free gingival margin of the tissue facial to the site moved when the adjacent cheek was retracted will be evaluated Pre- and postoperative blood flow will be assessed using a Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging device 785nm PeriCam PSI HR System Perimed AB Sweden at Day 0 1 4 7 10 14 Month 1 3 6 Any adverse events such as local or systemic reactions will be recorded After giving both verbal and written post-surgical instructions to the patient the investigator will release the patient when it is medically appropriate

Pre- and post-surgical clinical examinations will be performed and oral hygiene instructions reinforced at each post-surgical visit Following surgery the patients will be seen at Day 0 1 4 7 10 14 Month 1 3 6 until biopsy at 6 month post surgery periapical radiographs will be taken at baseline and at 6 month

Block biopsy removal After a healing period of 6 months a block biopsy will be harvested under local anesthesia from each patient and immediately immersed in a fixative solution estimated to require approximately two hours The biopsied sites will be repaired with both hard and soft tissue grafting as necessary The duration of the proposed study from treatment gingival augmentation procedure to biopsy is up to 6 months

Implant placement 9 months after biopsy removal implant placement will be carried out in local anesthesia following mucoperiosteal flap elevation Alternatively orthodontic gap closure or conventional prosthetic reconstruction can be performed depending on individual needs

Efficacy Evaluations

Soft Tissue Evaluation Plaque index PI gingival index GI probing depth PD recession depth RD recession width RW and keratinized tissue width KW will be recorded immediately prior to and 1 3 6 months after surgery In 5 patients a block biopsy of treated tooth will be collected and analyzed

Pre-Surgical Phase Necessary diagnostic information will be gathered Clinical photographs periapical radiographs and etc

Surgical Phase Initial periodontal therapy including oral hygiene instruction and adult prophylaxis will be performed before the surgery The surgery will not be performed until satisfactory plaque control is achieved The patients will take Amoxicillin 1000mg 1 hour before surgery then 2x1000mg daily for the next 7 days The tooth scheduled for extraction for either orthodontic or restorative reason will be anesthetized with local anesthesia Ultracain DS Forte Sanofi Aventis France Immediately after local anesthesia root debridement with hand instruments and removal of the smear layer with an EDTA solution will be performed An intrasulcular incision will be made on the tooth with recession and on each adjacent tooth Subperiosteal pouches will be dissected apically for about 6-8 mm facial to the 3 teeth and connected by extension of the subperiosteal dissection into the interdental areas to create a tunnel The papillae will be separated from the interdental bone crests by blunt dissection The tunnel will be extended apically about 6-8 mm by sharp dissection immediately supraperiosteally flap to ensure the tension-free coronal displacement of the tunnel NovoMatrix will be trimmed to a vertical dimension of 7-8 mm and a horizontal length to completely over the exposed roots and extend laterally to the root line angles of the adjacent teeth The graft will be inserted into the tunnel and aligned so that the coronal border of the graft is level with the coronal border of the overlying tissue Both the overlying tissue and graft will be positioned 1mm coronally to the level of the cementoenamel junction and secured with a 6-0 resorbable sling suture Monolac Chirmax Czech Republic resorption time 4 weeks Similar surgical approaches will be rendered for the control group Two weeks after surgery the grafted area will be carefully cleaned with 02 chlorhexidine solution Curasept Curaden Sweden The sutures will be removed at 4 weeks if necessary Patients will be seen at at Day 0 1 4 7 10 14 Month 1 3 6 until biopsy at 6- month post surgery to monitor healing and plaque control

Six months after gingival augmentation procedure a block biopsy will be harvested under local anesthesia from each patient The biopsy area will be reconstructed with both hard and soft tissue grafting as necessary

Post-Surgical Care The patients will be instructed not to brush or floss the surgical sites until 2-3 weeks when the graft has become stabilized by healing Patients will be instructed to rinse with chlorhexidine mouth rinse 02 2-3 times daily for 2-3 weeks Any adverse effects will be recorded

Management of Post-Surgical Oral Pain Post-surgical discomfort will be divided into mild moderate and severe levels and requires a subjective assessment by the investigator based on his knowledge of the surgical procedure to be performed and the presenting signs and symptoms of the patient Treatment of the source of pain is usually the best management If infection is present treatment of the infection will directly alleviate the patients discomfort

The following medications will be given to provide relief follows 3x400mg Ibuprofen Advil Ultra Forte Pfizer USA during the first 2-3 days after surgery All prescription pain medications will be closely monitored for efficacy and dosages altered if the pain persists or requires a higher level formulation

Follow-Up Evaluations Patients will be seen for post-operative evaluations at Day 0 1 4 7 10 14 Month 1 3 6 until the biopsies are obtained Localized supragingival scaling polishing and oral hygiene reinforcement will be performed according to individual needs at each visit At 3 and 6 months periodontal maintenance will be performed which includes an evaluation of the dental plaque and the gingival condition for the whole mouth Photographs of the treated sites will be obtained

Biopsy All biopsies will be placed into fixative solution which will be supplied clearly labeled and sent via Express Mail or hand delivered to the histological lab All results and corresponding documentation including both histological and clinical findings and radiographs should be sent by Express Mail to the histological lab who will be responsible for compiling all data and preparation of the final study report

Study Discontinuation
