A coronally positioned flap with acellular dermal matrix allograft achieved successful root coverage in most cases. This method avoids donor site morbidity and allows for predictable multi-site root coverage.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Regenerative Dentistry

Background:

  • Root coverage procedures aim to treat gingival recession.
  • Acellular dermal matrix allografts offer an alternative to autogenous tissue grafts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of coronally positioned flap with acellular dermal matrix allograft for root coverage.
  • To assess the reproducibility of previous university study results in a private practice setting.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a coronally positioned flap combined with an acellular dermal matrix allograft.
  • Followed a standardized protocol from a prior university-based study.
  • Applied the technique to multiple gingival recession defects.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Achieved complete root coverage on the majority of treated defects.
  • Demonstrated the practicality and predictability of the allograft for multi-site root coverage.
  • Avoided postoperative morbidity associated with palatal tissue harvesting.

    • Conclusions:

    • Coronally positioned flap with acellular dermal matrix allograft is effective for root coverage.
    • The procedure is reproducible in a private practice setting.
    • This allograft offers an advantageous alternative due to its unlimited supply and reduced patient morbidity.
