Porcine Collagen Matrix With and Without Enamel Matrix Derivative for the Treatment of Gingival Recession Defects
Abstract
Introduction: Gingival recession is a common occurrence with an estimated 61.3 million adults over the age of 30 having at least one millimeter of recession. Recession defects are commonly treated with connective tissues grafts (CTG). However, these autogenous grafts require a second surgical site and are limited by anatomic factors. Collagen matrix (CM) is a xenogeneic material that has shown comparable results to CTG when utilized for treatment of gingival recession. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) has been shown to enhance root coverage procedures, especially when used in conjunction with coronally advanced flaps (CAF). Purpose: This prospective, blinded, randomized, split-mouth study compared theeffectiveness of a porcine collagen matrix (CM) and coronally advanced flap (CAF) with or without the addition of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in the treatment of recession defects.
