Quantcast Root Coverage Using Alloderm Acellular Dermal Graft Material

Abstract

This report describes a surgical technique for root coverage using an acellular dermal graft material and a coronally positioned flap .  Video clips of a root coverage surgery are included using the graft material to cover multiple teeth in the same quadrant.  Three additional completed cases are presented in which a mean root coverage of 97% was achieved, resulting in 100% coverage on 9 of 11 teeth.  The results from this case series conform with the available evidence on the use of acellular dermal graft material in root coverage procedures.
