Previously, gum recession was treated using soft tissue grafts, which were performed by harvesting tissue from the roof of the mouth. With new developments in periodontal care, 95% of receding gums cases can now be treated with a tissue-like material known as a regenerative matrix.
Introduced in 1994, regenerative matrix materials were originally developed to treat burn victims. Today it is widely used in plastic reconstructive surgery in both medicine and dentistry. This procedure eliminates the need to do surgery on a second site in the mouth to harvest patient’s own tissue, allows more than one tooth at a time to be treated, and eliminates the possibility of bleeding gums. Regenerative matrix materials deliver a highly predictable treatment with better, faster healing. To achieve these results, readily available donor tissue replaces damaged gum tissue. The donor tissue undergoes stringent screening processes identical to those of other implantable tissue or organs.
