Treatment of gingival recessions with tunnel procedure and xenogeneic acellular dermal matrix

A modified tensionless gingival grafting technique using acellular dermal matrix.

Conventional surgical procedures designed for autogenous tissue material may not be appropriate when using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for the treatment of gingival recessions. This article describes a new surgical technique that addresses the unique and sensitive aspects of ADM specifically to improve esthetic outcomes and gain increased clinical predictability when treating Miller Class I a...

Treatment of Multiple Recession-Type Defects Using Tunnel technique with Acellular Dermal Matrix

The American Academy of Periodontology 1 has defined marginal tissue recession as an acquired deformity with the gingival margin being located apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), resulting in exposed root surface and loss of attached gingiva. Gingival recession is a common feature in populations with high as well as poor standards of oral hygiene 2 . Many factors have been proposed to i...

Treatment of severe burn with DermACELL(®), an acellular dermal matrix.

For treatment of skin burn injuries, there exist several methods of treatment related to tissue regeneration, including the use of autograft skin and cryopreserved skin. However, each method has drawbacks. An alternative method for tissue regeneration is allograft acellular dermal matrix, with potential as a biocompatible scaffold for new tissue growth. One recently produced material of this ty...

Management of gingival recession with acellular dermal matrix graft: A clinical study

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Obtaining root coverage has become an important part of periodontal therapy. The aims of this studyare to evaluate the clinical efficacy of acellular dermal matrix graft in the coverage of denuded roots and also to examine the change in the width of keratinized gingiva. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 sites with more than or equal to 2 mm of recession depth were taken ...
