ALARCON, Marco Antonio; DIAZ, Karla Tatiana  and  MUNOZ, Milena. Multiple gingival recession coverage: Use of acellular dermal matrix vs. collagen matrix. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2016, vol.26, n.4, pp.236-243. ISSN 1019-4355.

Periodontal literature contains numerous descriptions of surgical procedures designed for covering teeth root gingival recession, based on autogenous grafts from the palate or tuberosity. Currently, there are other alternatives that reduce postoperative pain with good functional and aesthetic results; such as the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and Porcine collagen matrix (CM); which have been being tested in multiple clinical trials. Describe two techniques of root coverage for multiple recessions: ADM and CM. This case series present a patient with anterior esthetic problems in the sector due to gingival re- cession and old restoration, which received ADM (AlloDerm ®). Another patient with tenderness in the anterior sector due to poor keratinized gingiva, which received graft CM (Mucograft(MR)). We had favorable results in both cases. Both treatments have shown good clinical results in covering multiple gingival recessions; considering them as a good alternative to autogenous free gingival grafts.
