ABSTRACT Background: Gingival recession (GR) can result in hypersensitivity, esthetic concern to the patient, and chances for root caries. The purpose of this randomized clinical study was to evaluate the effect of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedure using a bioabsorbable collagen membrane in comparison to autogenous Subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) for root coverage in Miller’s class I and II gingival recession defects. Materials and methods: In this split mouth study, 10 patients with 20 contralateral Miller’s class I or II recession defects were randomly treated with coronally advanced flap using either Subepithelial connective tissue graft (control group)  or resorbable collagen membrane (experimental group). The clinical evaluations were done using plaque index, gingival index, height of gingival recession, probing sulcus depth and clinical attachment level at baseline, 3 and 6 months post- operatively. Results: Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and student’s t test was used for comparisons. P value <0.01 was considered to be significant. Both the groups showed complete resolution of the defects at 6 months post operatively. Inter group comparison between both the groups at 6 months showed no statistically significant differences in any of the clinical parameters. Conclusion:  Predictable outcome were observed in both the groups and indicated that collagen based guided tissue regeneration membrane i.e. ProGide can be safely used.

Patients today have become excessively concerned about esthetics. These esthetic concerns of patients have become an integral part of periodontal practice. Gingival recession is an esthetic problem that can be successfully treated by means of several mucogingival surgical approaches, any of which can be used, provided that the biologic conditions for accomplishing root coverage are satisfied with no loss of soft and hard tissue height interdentally. There are currently different techniques for root coverage which include pedicle grafts, free gingival grafts, connective tissue grafts, and guided tissue regeneration (GTR). This paper reports a case in which a new double papillary connective tissue graft technique has been used in the treatment of gingival recession.

The Gingival recession is considered a multi-factorial. The etiology may be an anatomically vulnerable area, faulty tooth brushing, high frenum attachment. In cases where there is progressive recession, aesthetics concern or increasing dentinal hypersensitivity, we can do recession coverage. Depending upon the presence or absence of adequate keratinized tissue we can choose the technique. In case of adequate width of keratinized tissue, usually we can do displaced flap and in case where there is inadequate width, we can do gingival grafting.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate periodontal clinical conditions after treatment for gingival recession (GR) using subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and acellular dermal matrix (ADM).Methods: Ten patients with Miller’s Class I and II recessions that had been treated with SCTG or ADM at the Periodontics Outpatient Department at Universitas Indonesia were selected for this study. The pre-operative data for GR, clinical attachment levels (CAL), and attached gingiva (AG) were retrieved from the patients’ medical records. The patients were recalled and the post-operative data were recorded.Results: The application of SCTG and ADM yields significant changes to GR, CAL, and AG levels. A comparison of two groups at the post-operative assessment stage showed no statistically significant differences, in terms of GR, CAL, and AG.Conclusion: SCTG and ADM yield similar outcomes in the treatment of GR. As such, ADM may be suggested as an alternative to SCTG for root coverage.
