Coronally advanced flap in combination with acellular dermal matrix with or without enamel matrix derivatives for root coverage

Root coverage using a coronally advanced flap with or without acellular dermal matrix: a meta-analysis

PURPOSE Gingival recession is a major esthetic concern and may lead to root sensitivity during periodontal treatment. Coronally advanced flaps (CAFs) with and without acellular dermal matrix (ADM) are widely used in root coverage procedures. The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy of CAF in combination with ADM in the treatment of gingival recession. METHODS PubMed, The Cochrane Lib...

Root Coverage with a New Collagen Matrix and Coronally Advanced Flap: A Case Report

US Food and Drug Administration for regenerative therapy involving teeth and implants, including treatment of dehiscence defects around teeth. Fabricated as a matrix and composed of pure porcine collagen obtained by standardized, controlled manufacturing processes. The collagen was extracted from veterinary-certified pigs and purified to avoid antigenic reactions. The matrix was made of collage...

Root coverage technique with enamel matrix derivative.

Various periodontal plastic surgical techniques are employed in obtaining root coverage. Recently, the use of an enamel matrix derivative (EMD) has been reported in such treatment. We report 2 cases of root coverage surgery with a coronally positioned flap in combination with EMD (CPF+EMD) and connective tissue graft in combination with EMD (CTG+EMD). Case 1: The patient was a 25-year-old woman...

Tunnel technique with connective tissue graft versus coronally advanced flap with enamel matrix derivative for root coverage: a randomized controlled clinical trial using 3D digital measuring methods

Root coverage using the coronally positioned flap with or without a subepithelial connective tissue graft.

BACKGROUND Various surgical techniques have been proposed for treating gingival recession. This randomized clinical trial compared the coronally positioned flap (CPF) alone or in conjunction with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in the treatment of gingival recession. METHODS Eleven non-smoking subjects with bilateral and comparable Miller Class I recession defects were selected...
