Effect of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose on Vestibular Sulcus Depth After Clark Vestibuloplasty
Sponsor: Izmir Katip Celebi University
Summary
This randomized controlled clinical study will evaluate whether the use of oxidized regenerated cellulose (Reoxcel Sigma Knit) in addition to standard Clark vestibuloplasty improves vestibular sulcus depth and patient comfort in individuals with insufficient vestibular depth. A total of 36 participants will be assigned to either Clark vestibuloplasty with oxidized regenerated cellulose or standard Clark vestibuloplasty with periodontal dressing. Vestibular sulcus depth and keratinized gingival tissue will be assessed before treatment and at 1 and 3 months after surgery. Postoperative pain and analgesic use will also be evaluated during the first 7 days after surgery.

Conditions
Interventions
Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC)
Oxidized regenerated cellulose (Reoxcel Sigma Knit, 5 × 7.5 cm) will be applied in a double layer over the exposed gingival wound surface following standard Clark vestibuloplasty. The material will be secured with 4-0 polyglycolide-lactide sutures using crossed and simple suturing techniques.
Periodontal Dressing
Periodontal dressing (Coe-Pak) will be applied over the exposed gingival wound surface following standard Clark vestibuloplasty. The dressing will cover the surgical site during the postoperative healing period.
