Study Summary

This trial tests two routine care procedures for treating gingival recession in patients who need root coverage.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-89 with gum recession who need root coverage. It's open to nonsmokers, former smokers, and those smoking less than 10 cigarettes a day. Women must be non-pregnant, post-menopause, or have had certain procedures to prevent pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two standard care allograft materials (ADM-D and ADM-S) used in dental surgery for treating gum recession. Patients will randomly receive one of these treatments on different sides of the same dental arch.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As the interventions involve routine dental procedures using allograft materials, potential side effects may include swelling, discomfort at the site of surgery, infection risk, and possible allergic reactions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Test Group:Acellular Dermal Matrix - Deep cut (ADM-D)Active Control1 Intervention
The use of a deep cut ADM for root coverage gingival plastic procedures.
Group II: Control Group: Acellular Dermal Matrix - Superficial cut (ADM-S)Placebo Group1 Intervention
A commonly used allograft material is the Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) which is harvested from human donor dermal tissues. Most commercially available ADM products are superficial cuts.
