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.
