Treatment of loss of gums using material obtained from animals or material obtained from patients own blood

Recruiting

Brief Summary: Gingival recession is defined as the apical displacement of gingival margin to the cementoenamel junction exposing the root surfaces which may lead to dentinal hypersensitivity, root caries and aesthetic concerns to patients. Connective tissue graft along with coronally advanced flap is considered as the gold standard treatment protocol in the management of gingival recession. However , due to drawbacks of connective tissue grafts like palatal morbidity as a result of secondary surgical site and patientâ€™s fear of pain the proposed study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of volume stable xenogenic collagen matrix incorporated with injectable platelet rich fibrin versus platelet rich fibrin obtained by horizontal spin protocol in the treatment of gingival recession defects. If both the groups shows similar significant results, in future we may recommend the groups protocol as a choice of treatment in the management of gingival recession defects.
