Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

this study compares the ease of execution, wound healing and patient morbidity of 2 surgical blade designs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Over the past few years, connective tissue graft (CTG) is considered as a gold standard and reliable treatment modality in periodontal aesthetic surgeries.Various CTG harvesting techniques have been described which differ in the number of the incisions, flap design, and the technique for gaining access to the graft. Among the numerous techniques for CTG harvest, single incision technique (SIT) proposed by Hurzeler is described as more conservative and least traumatic for the patient. However, there are few limitations of SIT.

To overcome these difficulties, Kumar proposed a special instrument, Barraquer cataract knife and AVS blade to harvest CTG using modified SIT. The Barraquer cataract knife is an ophthalmic blade which is extremely thin and useful in giving mesial and distal incisions of CTG within the limited space under partial thickness flap without tearing it. AVS blade has a terminal shank angled at 100 degrees, with the smooth outer surface and the cutting edge at terminal end perpendicular to the long axis of the instrument which enables placement of medial incision easily without damaging the overlying flap. However, their proposed instrument too had limitations like need for two instruments to, and the straight angulation of the shank makes the adaptation difficult to the palatal vault.

A new instrument KPM blade has been envisaged eliminating these limitations. It has a long thin handle with two contra-angulations of 45degrees and 90degrees on the shank and a terminal shank of ten mm length.This makes the shank easily adapt to any form of the palatal vault, offsets the interference of palatal surfaces of molars and provides a depth control of ten mm in apico-coronal direction without causing any vascular troubles. From the terminal shank blade has a perpendicular projection of two mm which is curved and bevelled which enables it to be used in multidirection with better visibility and good clinical control on incision.

However, till date, this novel KPM blade has not been explored in harvesting CTG using SIT. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to compare KPM blade v/s standard 15c blade to harvest CTG in SIT in terms of ease of harvesting (time), early healing in palatal donor area and patient morbidity.

palatal connective tissue graft harvest with KPM blade

palatal connective tissue graft is harvested using single incision technique using KPM blade

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

connective tissue graft harvest using KPM blade

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

after local anesthesia is injected, the surgical procedure is initiated with 15 C blade and the connective tissue graft is detached from epithelium and underlying periosteum. then the connective tissue is harvested with the help of 2 vertical and 1 horizontal incisions using KPM blade.
