Acellular dermal matrix grafts effectively treat alveolar bone loss and gingival recession after tooth extraction. This surgical technique improved ridge dimensions and covered exposed roots, enhancing aesthetics and function.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Oral surgery
  • Regenerative medicine

Background:

  • Alveolar bone resorption post-extraction leads to aesthetic issues and therapeutic challenges like gingival recession.
  • Acellular dermal matrix grafts are indicated for soft tissue recessions causing aesthetic concerns, sensitivity, or caries.

Observation:

  • This case report details a surgical technique using acellular dermal matrix graft for a class III ridge defect and Miller's grade II gingival recession.
  • The study monitored changes in ridge dimensions and gingival recession over 3 months post-surgery.

Findings:

  • Significant gains in bucco-lingual and apico-coronal dimensions of the alveolar ridge were observed.
  • Complete coverage of gingival recession was achieved compared to the baseline condition.

Implications:

  • Acellular dermal matrix grafting offers a viable solution for ridge augmentation and root coverage in compromised anterior extraction sites.
  • This technique can restore aesthetics and potentially prevent further complications associated with alveolar ridge defects and gingival recession.
