Treatment of gingival recession using a coronally-advanced flap procedure with or without placental membrane.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the treatment of gingival recession defects using a coronally-advanced flap procedure with or without placental membrane.

Methods: Sixty teeth in 15 patients with single and multiple Miller's class I and II gingival recession defects bilaterally in the anterior and premolar region of the maxilla and mandible were divided into two groups. In group I (control), 30 recession defects were treated with coronally-advanced flap alone using Zucchelli's technique.
