[Using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) allograft in periodontal surgery--a literature review and case reports].
The acellular dermal matrix (ADM) allograft is widely used in periodontal surgery. A MEDLINE search was performed for retrieving related articles. This article reviews ADM processing and mode of use, indications and contraindications, surgical techniques and clinical results for the treatment of localized and generalized gingival recessions with ADM and comparisons with other methods of treatment for root recessions. Two case reports are presented, illustrating the use of ADM and connective tissue grafts for root coverage.
