Management of Soft Tissue Ridge Deformities With Acellular Dermal Matrix. Clinical Approach and Outcome After 6 Months of Treatment

Abstract

ADM may be a suitable material for the treatment of soft tissue ridge deformities due to its biocompatibility, color matching, and horizontal gain. Additional controlled, comparative trials are necessary to establish its advantages and potential compared to autogenous soft tissue techniques.

Soft tissue volume augmentation by the use of collagen‐based matrices: a volumetric analysis

“…Intraoral applications included procedures to increase the width of keratinized tissue, to cover recession defects, and to deepen the vestibular fornix (Aichelmann-Reidy et al 2001, Harris 2003, Wei et al, 2000Andrade et al 2008. The ADMG has also been used to augment localized alveolar defects (Batista et al 2001). However, allogenic devices are very thin due to the manufacturing process.…”

Experimental Study on the Acellular Dermal Matrix Graft for the Root Coverage in Dog

“…There are some reports, which have described the retarded healing of the ADM like Wei et al's studies 26,27 . In their studies 26,27 , the clinical healing of the ADM was generally retarded by approximately 2 weeks when compared to free gingival tissue graft. At the present, there is no report to describe about the complete healing time when ADM graft is applied for root coverage in dogs.…”

Split pedicle roll envelope technique around implants and pontics: a prospective case series study

“…Commercially available substitutes are superior in reducing morbidity, but this adds to the costs and there is still a lack of long-term predictability. 19 The technique presented herein, aimed at reconstructing facial curvature and scalloping the gingival outline, has the following benefits which underline its appropriateness for use: (1) it provides sufficient tissue volume for the implant and pontic sites, (2) early tissue healing can be expected because of the increased blood supply, (3) the graft is readily stabilized, and (4) the donor site is still protected. The elastic split graft adapts better to the ovate pontic, and its guided epithelialization facilitates papilla regeneration.…”
