Hyaluronon As An Adjunct To Coronally Advanced Flap For The Treatment Of Gingival Recession Defects.

ABSTRACT

Abstracts Background: The present clinical trial was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of hyaluronon(HA) as an adjunct in root coverage procedures. Methodology: 20 patients with millers class I and II gingival recession in a minimum of two sites were treated with HA gel combined with coronally advanced flap on the test site and sub epithelial connective tissue graft with CAF on the control sites. Results: The percentage of root coverage achieved showed no significant difference between the test and control sites at 9 months post therapy. Conclusion: HA increased the probability of achieving root coverage in Miller’s class I and II recession.
