Comparing Treatment Of Receding Gums Using Soft Tissue Matrix With or Without EMD.

Recruiting

Conditions: Gingival recession,

Registration Number: CTRI/2025/05/086283

Lead Sponsor: Soumya Kaushik

Brief Summary: **INTRODUCTION** - Gingival recession is the apical migration of gingival edge to the junction of cementum and enamel (CEJ).Periodontal disease, plaque accumulations, inflammation, poor flossing, vigorous tooth brushing, are all potential causes of gingival recession. Due to the exposed dentin, gingival recession may produce increased sensitivity.

**AIM-** The aim of the study will be to evaluate the efficacy of collagen matrix with or without enamel matrix derivative in recession coverage.

**OBJECTIVES-** Evaluation and comparison of the percentage gain in root coverage, increase in the length and width of recession, increase in width of keratinised gingiva with Collagen matrix and Enamel matrix derivative, and with Collagen matrix alone at baseline,1 month and 3 months post operatively.

**METHODOLOGY**- A total of 20 systemically healthy subjects with Miller’s Class I and Class II recession defect, aged between 18-55 years, will be selected for the study. Patients selected would be randomly divided into two groups:

Test Group: 10 recession defects would be covered with resorbable collagen matrix (Fix SofTi®) and enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain®).

Control Group: 10 recession defects would be covered with resorbable collagen matrix (Fix SofTi®) alone.

**RESULT-** Follow up at baseline, 1 and 3 months for assessment of clinical attachment level , increase in width of keratinized gingiva and gain in root coverage.

Data collected will be statistically analysed.
