Biomaterials for Root Coverage

Bys: Ali, Ashraf, K. S., Rajesh, Hegde, Shashikanth

Biomaterials for Root Coverage, explores the innovative use of biomaterials in the field of periodontology, with a specific focus on their application in root coverage procedures. Gingival recession is a common clinical condition that not only affects aesthetics but also contributes to dentinal hypersensitivity and increased risk of root caries. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the etiological factors, biological considerations, and clinical techniques involved in managing gingival recession using biomaterials. Emphasis is placed on the classification, properties, and clinical performance of various natural and synthetic graft materials, including connective tissue grafts, acellular dermal matrices, collagen-based materials, and newer regenerative products like platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Intended for dental students, clinicians, and researchers, this book serves as both a scientific reference and a practical guide to enhance understanding and clinical decision-making in periodontal plastic surgery.
