Periodontal Plastic Surgery of Multiple Recession Defect Sites Using “Novel Non Cross Linked Porcine Dermal Matrix” - By Coronal Advancement- A Case Report.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background:
Palatal tissue grafts are contemplated to be the benchmarks. However, it is associated with many complications like need for the donor-site surgical procedure, technical difficulty and bleeding from the palate along with anatomical limitations, to overcome these, this article reports the coverage of multiple recession defects using “Non Cross Linked Porcine Native Dermal Matrix” (Collprotect® membrane).
Methods:
A 35year old patient named Mr. Narendra reported to the out patient Department of Periodontology, Government Dental College, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, with multiple recessions on the left maxillary quadrant. The recession sites were treated with porcine dermal matrix (Collprotect® membrane) by coronally advanced flap technique.
Results:
The surgery was well tolerated by the patient. At the final follow up, (after I year from baseline), a significant gain in attachment levels with complete root coverage was achieved. The membrane showed positive results and healed without any complications, providing excellent colour matching. Thus, the patient was highly satisfied.
Conclusion:
This porcine dermal matrix (Collprotect® membrane), provided good compatibility and healed by minimal morbidity. It is highly advantageous to those patients who are contraindicated for harvesting connective tissue grafts from the palate like narrow palate and cleft patients.
