About
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of the acellular porcine derived collagen matrix (PADM) in comparison with connective tissue graft (SCTG ) in the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGR). The primary objectives of the study were to evaluate mean and complete roots coverage. Additionally, the secondary objective was to evaluate and compare the clinical effectiveness of PADM and SCTG for the treatment of MAGR defects applying modified coronally advanced tunnel technique (MCAT).
Full description
Treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGR) still presents a challenge for the clinician. The management of soft tissues becomes more complicated and the wound healing may be compromised by a variety of factors.
According to the available medical databases, predictable root coverage is possible for multiple-tooth recession defects using subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) procedures. However, alternative materials to SCTG are supported by evidence of varying strength, with the need for additional research to confirm their performance and success rate. Because of that, the aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of the acellular porcine derived collagen matrix (PADM) in comparison with connective tissue graft (SCTG ) in the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGR).
This study is a randomised controlled clinical trial of 12 months duration. Sixteen patients with a total of 81 MAGR Miller's Class I or II were enrolled in this study. Recessions were randomly treated with PADM and SCTG, combined with a modified coronally advanced tunnel technique (MCAT). Several parameters, such as gingival recession coverage (RC), keratinized tissue width (KTW), keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline and one year postoperatively. Healing index (HI) was registered on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-week post-surgery in order to estimate healing events.
