Department of Dentistry Researchers Have Published New Data on Gingival Recession (Comparative Evaluation of Coronally Advanced Flap with and without Amniotic Membrane in the treatment of Localised Miller's Class I and Class II Gingival...).

A recent study conducted in Maharashtra, India evaluated the use of Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) with and without amniotic membrane in the treatment of localized gingival recession. The study involved 30 teeth, with 15 teeth treated with CAF and amniotic membrane and 15 teeth treated with CAF alone. After three months, both groups showed improvements in various measurements, including recession depth, probing depth, and clinical attachment level. However, the group treated with CAF and amniotic membrane showed a higher width of attached gingiva and greater root coverage compared to the control group. The study suggests that the combination of CAF and amniotic membrane is a successful option for root coverage in localized recession defects, but further research is needed.
