Acellular Dermal Matrix Allografts to Achieve Increased Attached Gingiva. Part 1. A Clinical Study

Abstract

The results of this study suggest that in procedures aiming at increasing the width of attached gingiva: 1) the ADM allograft was less effective and less predictable than the autogenous FGG in terms of increasing attached keratinized tissue due to considerable shrinkage and inconsistent quality of the attached tissue gained and 2) the esthetic results using the ADM allograft might be better than those using the autogenous FGG.
