Abstract
ABSTRACT
Recently porcine derived bioresorbable collagen matrices have shown predictable outcomes
for augmenting keratinized gingiva, improved wound healing, recession coverage in localized
gingival recessions and multiple recession coverage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
effectiveness of the collagen matrix in the management of Millers class II gingival recessions. The
use of collagen matrix in combination with Coronally Advanced Flap as a surgical technique was
tested versus Coronally Advanced Flap alone.
Material and Methods: The study design is a randomized controlled clinical trial (split
mouth design). Ten participants selected from Beirut Arab University Department of Oral Surgical
Sciences Division of Periodontology seeking root coverage due to bilateral premolar class II (Miller
Classification) gingival recession. The 10 participants with 20 sites according to Miller class II
classification were randomly assigned into two groups. Group I (test) includes 10 sites with Class
II Miller gingival recession that will be treated with Mucograft and Coronally Advanced Flap.
Group II (control) includes 10 sites with Class II Miller gingival recession will be treated with
Coronally Advanced Flap alone. Recordings of the clinical variables included: Recession Depth
& Width (RD, RW), Width of Keratinized Tissues (WKT), Gingival Biotype, and Percentage of
Root Coverage were taken at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months’ post surgically. Data collected
were fed to the computer and analyzed using IBM SPSS software package version 23.0. Statistical
significance was set at 0.05
Results: The study showed that the clinical variables tested improved throughout the study
period in both the test and control sites, however the gingival biotype and width of keratinized
tissue were in favor of the test sites.
Conclusion: The use of the Mucograft with a partial thickness coronally advanced flap as a
treatment modality for root coverage provides a significant approach for decreasing recession depth
and width, increase in the width of the keratinized tissue as well as gingival thickeness in Millers
class II gingival,recession
