Patients are more motivated and concerned about aesthetics nowadays along with the issues of sensitivity of teeth. The conventional flap designs and techniques including lateral sliding flaps, coronally advanced flap, subepithelial connective tissue grafts and free gingival grafts are being adopted for root coverage. The newer material including resorbable and non-resorbable guided tissue regenerative membranes, amniotic membrane, platelet-rich fibrin membrane, enamel matrix derivative protein, xenogenic collagen matrix graft along with the soft tissue substitute like acellular dermal matrix allograft are also being used for recession coverage. The present case report describes a case of 22-year-old female patient with the chief complaint of denudation of gums exposing the root surface over the mandibular left central incisor. The soft tissue substitute acellular dermal matrix allograft was used for root coverage as the patient was not willing to procure an autogenous palatal graft. The results were satisfactory with complete root coverage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2021-243895","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,7]],"date-time":"2021-12-07T11:21:39Z","timestamp":1638876099000},"page":"e243895","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Aesthetic root coverage with acellular dermal matrix allograft: a shield for gingival recession"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Shivani","family":"Sachdeva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Pravara Rural Dental College, Loni, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9511-083X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Harish","family":"Saluja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Pravara Rural Dental College, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Mani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Pravara Rural Dental College, Loni, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pravin","family":"Mukhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, SMBT Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Igatpuri, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082801051207000_14.12.e243895.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"250","DOI":"10.1590\/S1678-77572004000300017","article-title":"Gingival recession: prevalence, extension and severity in adults","volume":"12","author":"Marini","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Appl Oral Sci"},{"key":"2025082801051207000_14.12.e243895.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/annals.1996.1.1.671"},{"key":"2025082801051207000_14.12.e243895.3","first-page":"56","article-title":"Fundamentally changing soft tissue grafting","volume":"16","author":"Silverstein","year":"1997","journal-title":"Dent Today"},{"key":"2025082801051207000_14.12.e243895.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000637-199811000-00009"},{"key":"2025082801051207000_14.12.e243895.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1998.69.11.1305"},{"key":"2025082801051207000_14.12.e243895.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"424","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1998.tb02466.x","article-title":"Gingival dimensions after root coverage with free connective tissue grafts","volume":"25","author":"M\u00fcller","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Clin Periodontol"},{"key":"2025082801051207000_14.12.e243895.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"216","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-124X.149938","article-title":"An acellular dermal matrix allograft (Alloderm(\u00ae)) for increasing keratinized attached gingiva: a case series","volume":"19","author":"Agarwal","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Indian Soc Periodontol"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2021-243895","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,28]],"date-time":"2025-08-28T08:05:17Z","timestamp":1756368317000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2021-243895"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,12]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,7]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2021-243895"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2021-243895","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1757-790X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,12]]}}}
