Evaluation of Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft Versus Acellular Dermal Matrix With Tunnel Technique in Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions

Not Applicable
Conditions
Gingival Recession
Interventions
Biological: Acellular Dermal Matrix
Procedure: Tunnel technique with the subepithelial connective tissue graft
Registration Number
NCT02916186
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

The goal of the present study is to compare the amount of root coverage resulting from subepithelial connective tissue graft and acellular dermal matrix associated with tunnel technique among patients suffering from multiple gingival recession.

Detailed Description

Acellular dermal matrix with Tunnel technique will offers great advantages for patients with multiple gingival recession as regards decrease surgical time, Post-Operative pain and root coverage, clinical attachment level, width of Keratinized gingiva, gingival biotype compared to subepithelial connective tissue graft with Tunnel technique.
