Conventional Mucogingival Surgery Is More Effective Than Guided Tissue Regeneration in Root Coverage Procedures

BACKGROUND: Gingival recession (GR), often an aesthetic concern to the patient, is also associated with root sensitivity, and has a predilection to root caries. The purpose of this case series was to evaluate a bioabsorbable collagen membrane for root coverage with guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedure, in localized gingival recession defects. METHODS: Three cases presented in this case series, showing a localized Miller’s Class I or Class II gingival recession were treated for root coveragewith GTR-based collagen membrane. The graft was completely covered with coronally advanced flap and followed up to 6th month postoperatively. RESULTS: Six months following the procedure, the root coverage was found to be 100% in all three cases. The root coverage obtained appeared structurally and functionally stable. CONCLUSION: It may be concluded that the resorbable collagen membrane could be reliably used in the treatment of gingival recession.

Coronally Advanced Flap

Aim of root coverage procedure is to restore the tissue margin to the Cemento-enamel junction. Many surgical techniques have been developed throughout the years and Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) based rootcoverage using different allograft membranes has been utilized to treat gingival recession with excellent results.This case report describes a case of gingival recession managed by chorion membrane with coronally advanced flap.
