The CPT plus ADM and PRP produced defect coverage of 90%, whereas the CPT with ADM produced only 70% defect coverage, which was not statistically significant, but it may be clinically significant.

Tunnel technique versus coronally advanced flap with acellular dermal matrix graft in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions.

Both techniques were effective in root coverage of multiple recessions; however, better clinical results were achieved with CAF and ADM combination.

Acellular dermal matrix graft with or without enamel matrix derivative for root coverage in smokers: a randomized clinical study.

Smoking may negatively affect the results achieved through periodontal plastic procedures; however, the association of ADMG and EMD is beneficial in the root coverage of gingival recessions in smokers, 6 months after the surgery.

Coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft or xenogeneic acellular dermal matrix in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions: A split-mouth randomized clinical trial.

Within the limits of the study, M-CAF combined with XADM or CTG seems to be similarly effective in RD reduction of class I and II multiple gingival recessions at least in the short term.

Effectiveness of acellular dermal matrix graft with a coronally advanced flap for the treatment of Miller Class I/II single gingival recession with thin gingival phenotype: study protocol for a split-mouth randomised controlled trial

The objective of this split-mouth; randomised, controlled, clinical study is to evaluate the long-term effects of ADM graft (ADMG) combined with CAF on root coverage, aesthetics and patient satisfaction for the treatment of single gingival recession with thinGingival phenotype.

Comparative Evaluation of Coronally Advanced Flap Procedure in Conjunction with Amniotic Membrane Versus Coronally Advanced Flap with Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membrane in Patients with Miller's Class I and II Gingival Recession Defects

Significant difference was found between Group A (CAF+ PRF) and Group B ( CAF+ AM) membrane treated sites in reduction of PPD, gain in clinical attachment level, reduction of GRD from baseline to 3 months and baseline to 6 months, with more significant results seen with Group B.

Evaluation of Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft Versus Acellular Dermal Matrix with Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel Technique in Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions: A Randomized, Parallel-Design Clinical Trial.

The use of ADM may represent an alternative to SCTG when used in conjunction with MCAT in the management of multiple adjacent gingival recessions and patient satisfaction with esthetic outcome 9 months after treatment did not differ.

The Adjunctive Effect of Platelet-Rich Fibrin to Connective Tissue Graft in the Treatment of Buccal Recession Defects: Results of a Randomized, Parallel-Group Controlled Trial.

According to the results, the addition of PRF did not further develop the outcomes of CAF + CTG treatment except increasing the TT, and this single trial is not sufficient to advocate the true clinical effect ofPRF on recession treatment with CAF - CTG, and additional trials are needed.

Comparative Evaluation of Coronally Advanced Flap Using Amniotic Membrane and Platelet-rich Fibrin Membrane in Gingival Recession: An 18-Month Clinical Study

It is demonstrated that both CAF + PRF andCAF + AM are equally effective in providing clinically significant outcomes with respect to root coverage with AM showing the better percentage of root coverage as compared to PRF.
