Evaluation of Effectiveness of Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) for the Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recession Defects in Humans- A Case Series
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract: GTR therapy appears to be a legitimate approach towards managing the problem of root coverage. Therefore, the present case series study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) with respect to root coverage, gain in clinical attachment level and to improve the width of the keratinized gingiva in multiple gingival recession defects in human. Five systemically healthy patients (3 males and 2 females) aged between 18 to 25 years with multiple gingival recession (more than one) defects on the labial/ buccal surfaces of the teeth either in maxilla or mandible were treated by using guided tissue regeneration. The selected patients had Miller class I or II multiple gingival recession defects on the labial or buccal surface of teeth at baseline. Mean gingival recession (REC) at baseline was 2± 0.94 mm with a range of 2-3mm, which at 3 months postoperatively was reduced to 0.6± 0.48 mm ranging from 0-1mm with a mean reduction of 1.4±0.46 mm (Table-2) that corresponds with 85.32% mean root coverage. Use of GTR is a good option in cases where the patients are not willing for second surgical intervention as in SCTG.
