Abstract

Focused Clinical Question In patients with gingival recession that is classified as Miller Class III, does adjunctive use of local growth factors with gingival grafting procedures improve clinical outcomes? Clinical Scenario A 31-year-old female presents with a chief complaint of gingival recession (GR) at teeth #4 to #13 (Fig. 1). Interproximal bone loss coronal to the level of the buccal GR is present. She is concerned about esthetics and would like to maximize her chance for complete root coverage. Her medical history is non-contributory, and she has no contraindications to routine dental care. Because of the number of teeth involved and the difficulty in harvesting autogenous tissues, she is treated with acellular dermal matrix
