Efficacy of a Modified Technique of Free Gingival Graft in Volumetric Changes of the Graft: Randomized Clinical Trial
Sponsor: University of Sao Paulo
Summary
This study will compare a new technique of free gingival graft to the original one, in order to evaluate the stability of the graft volume over one year and other variables. Twenty patients will receive the original technique of free gingival graft (controls) and twenty patients will receive the modified technique, in which the free gingival graft is submerged (tests), at the inferior incisors area.
