A single-step GTR treatment for gingival recession with a bioresorbable membrane: a case report.
Creating a single-step surgical treatment for coverage of gingival recession has long been the objective in the development of guided tissue regeneration. A single-step procedure would avoid the trauma of a second surgery and eliminate the limitations associated with soft tissue grafts and nonresorbable barriers. It would also ensure the predictable integration of the bioresorbable membrane in the periodontal tissue and the clinical repair of gingival recession. The learning objective of this article is to present the clinical application of a bioresorbable matrix along with the indications and advantages of the procedure. Three case reports are used to illustrate the clinical technique.
