Abstract :
“Gingival Recession” is the most commonly observed periodontal clinical problem chases significant challenges in clinical practice because of numerous negative effects in a patient such as impact on aesthetics, effect overall dental and oral health, dental caries and tooth sensitivity. Periodontal literature illustrated the gold standard conventional treatment modality like use of connective tissue grafts in the treatment of gingival recession cases. However, this traditional treatment technique is associated with several disadvantages like variable clinical outcomes and morbidity of the donor site. Hence, patient morbidity associated with graft harvesting is a major drawback of this treatment and has led to the invention of various biological substitute biomaterials. A ‘quest’ in biomaterial research has revolutionized several biomaterials in periodontal tissue regeneration and tissue medicine. Recent developments in biomaterials have introduced a novel biomaterial like “Marine Collagen Matrix” (MCM) as a revolutionary promising substitute for management of gingival recession. The aim of the present comprehensive review article is to explore the literature pertaining to the properties, applications, and clinical evidence about outcomes of the exciting domain ‘marine collagen matrix’ in periodontal regeneration of gingival recession defects, thereby showcasing its potential as a revolutionary breakthrough in the arena of periodontics.
