Amniotic membrane a better graft and a dressing material for the root coverage
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Gingival recession is defined as the apical migration of gingival margin to the cemento-enamel junction, gingival recession is relatively prevalent in the general population and may be associated with unfavorable esthetics, dentin hypersensitivity, and susceptibility to root caries, and diminished aesthetic/ cosmetic appeal, of the factors contributing to gingival recession, trauma from tooth brushing is the most common other factors include anatomic variations smoking, oral habits, malpositioning and orthodontic tooth movement. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) based root coverage has emerged as a promising treatment modality. A variety of non-resorbable and bioresorbable membranes have been successfully used. Among resorbable membranes, collagen has been extensively studied. Recently, amnion membrane, the third generation membrane which is a placental derived tissue has been introduced and been utilized to correct gingival recession defects with promising results. Amnion and chorion allograft membranes of alternative origin derived from human placental tissue has been advocated in the treatment of gingival recession. Here in this report we present a case of gingival recession treated with guided tissue regeneration (GTR) principle using amnion placental membrane.
