Gingival Recession Treatment Using Two Different Surgical Techniques

Root Coverage Using Tunneling Technique of Xenogenic Collagen Matrix vs. Autologous Connective Tissue as a Treatment of Miller Class Two Gingival Recession (RCT Study)

Coronally the advanced flap is considered a predictable treatment of gingival recession but in certain situations, it needs a filler like subperiosteal connective tissue graft (CTG) which is considered as the gold standard treatment approach.

This randomized controlled trial compares the clinical benefits and effectiveness of a xenogenic collagen matrix (mucoderm, botiss, dental, Berlin, Germany) as a filler to the subperiosteal connective tissue graft (CTG).

Inclusion Criteria:

• -The selected patients for this study are non-smokers, aged 18-60 years with multiple gingival recession (Miller class 1, or 2.) for more than two adjacent affected teeth with plaque score less than 25%

Exclusion Criteria:

• -Patients with systemic complications, psychological problems, parafunctional habits, or patients presented with Mal-posed teeth, hypermobile teeth, teeth with Miller class 3 gingival recession were excluded from this study.
