Also, it has properties of root demineralization and exposure of collagen fibers. These properties may enhance root coverage in procedures of subepithelial connective graft. Laser photobiomodulation has the potential to increase healing and repair, this can generate gains in the root coverage and dental hypersensitivity.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '60 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Multiple Gingival recession - two or more Miller's class I or II (2 to 5 mm of height)\n* Indication of root coverage by dentin hypersensitivity or esthetic.\n* Minimum palate thickness (1,5mm)\n* Visible Enamel cement junction (JCE) on the teeth to be treated and pulp vitality\n* Patients without signs of periodontal disease activity and with plaque index and bleeding on probing throughout ≤20%;\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Use of drugs that affect periodontal tissues (eg: anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, cyclosporine, bisphosphonates, hormone-based contraceptives, steroids)\n* Smokers\n* Pregnancy\n* Diabetics\n* History of head and neck radiotherapy\n* Teeth with mobility\n* Malpositioned teeth\n* History of periodontal surgery at the area on the last 12 months\n* Patients with orthodontic therapy in progression"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03462368', 'briefTitle': 'Evaluation of Root Coverage by Connective Graft and Different Root Conditioning Adjunctive Therapies', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Sao Paulo'}, 'officialTitle': 'Effects of Photobiomodulation and Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy Associated With Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft on the Root Coverage of Multiple Gingival Recessions: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'FOBaPDTrecession'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Control', 'description': 'Root surface treatment by scaling and root planing', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Control']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'antimicrobial photodynamic therapy', 'description': 'Root surface treatment by antimicrobial photodynamic therapy', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: antimicrobial photodynamic therapy']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Photobiomodulation', 'description': 'Treatment of the whole surgical site with laser', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Photobiomodulation']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Control', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'otherNames': ['Scaling and root planing only'], 'description': 'In the procedure of subepithelial connective tissue graft, exposed dental roots will be treated by scaling and root planing only.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Control']}, {'name': 'antimicrobial photodynamic therapy', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'In the procedure of subepithelial connective tissue graft, exposed dental roots will be treated by antimicrobial photodynamic therapy with toluidine blue O (10mg/ml)', 'armGroupLabels': ['antimicrobial photodynamic therapy']}, {'name': 'Photobiomodulation', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'otherNames': ['Low level laser therapy'], 'description': 'After the procedure of subepithelial connective tissue graft the whole surgical site will receive red laser application.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Photobiomodulation']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '17012-901', 'city': 'Bauru', 'state': 'São Paulo', 'country': 'Brazil', 'facility': 'Bauru School of Dentistry', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -22.31472, 'lon': -49.06056}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Sao Paulo', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Associate professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Carla Andreotti Damante', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'University of Sao Paulo'}}}}
