JUAREZ MEMBRENO, I.A.. Comparison of two surgical handling techniques for gingival recession using an acellular dermal matrix: a case report. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.4, pp.187-194. ISSN 2340-3152.

Different surgical procedures and materials have been described with the purpose of carrying out gingival recession treatments (GR), the increase of thickness and width of adhered gum. One of the materials used is the acellular dermal matrix (ADM) biological base allograft which, like a connective tissue, is added to the periodontal tissues, keeping the structural integrity and re vascularization. The ADM techniques can be either a coronal displaced flap (CDF) with vertical incisions or a surgical technique in a kind of pocket or tunnel modified by means of a lifting from inside the papillae allowing a higher tissue coronal movement and a flap coronal displacement. The case report objective was to compare both techniques with a post six-month follow up. The clinical case showed concordance with the evidence of scientific studies which confirms the success for treating recession cover with a gain of keratinized tissue, increase of added gum thickness, better clinical improvements and aesthetic results regardless the surgery technique used when using ADM.
