Background: Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells possess immunoregulatory capacities that have been permissive to allogenic transplantation. Recent animal studies have demonstrated histologically that bone marrow- derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may enhance the regeneration of periodontal defects in dogs by differentiating MSCs into cementoblasts, osteoblasts and periodontal fibroblasts.
Aim: To compare the clinical efficacy between stem cells in combination with PLA/PGA membrane and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in the treatment of multiple gingival recession defects.
Today's patients are increasingly conscious of personal appearance, and much attention has been focused on denuded roots that are exposed during smiling. These concerns have given rise to numerous approaches for covering denuded root surfaces. Therefore, this study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor BB (rh-PDGF-BB) + β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) for the treatment of multiple gingival recession defects in humans.

The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a coronally positioned flap (CPF) with or without acellular dermal matrix allograft (ADMA) in the treatment of multiple marginal tissue recession.

Several techniques have been developed to obtain these results with variable outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of acellular dermal matrix allograft (ADMA) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in combination with coronally positioned flap in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions in aesthetic areas.
