Abstract
THE AIM OF THE STUDY
Was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the use of a navigational surgical template in the vestibuloplasty protocol in patients with periodontal diseases.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
There were 48 people selected to participate in the study and randomly divided into 2 equal groups. The patients of the main group underwent vestibuloplasty procedure using a free gingival graft modeled using the developed protocol and a navigational surgical template. Patients in the control group underwent a similar operation using classical technology. The study assessed postoperative pain, the index of early wound healing, Doppler fluometry of the transplanted flap and flap morphometric measurements.
RESULTS
The results of all conducted studies confirmed the effectiveness of the developed clinical protocol.
CONCLUSION
According to objective and subjective assessments, the use of a surgical navigation template can reduce the time and invasiveness of vestibuloplasty surgery, make it more comfortable for the patient and get a more predictable clinical result.
