Utilização de matriz colágena suína como substituto de enxerto de tecido conjuntivo no recobrimento radicular

Abstract

Currently, a considerable part of the population suffers from problems related to gum recession. With advances in the scientific field and the need to offer less invasive treatments for patients who need to undergo treatment with periodontal surgery, researchers have developed three-dimensional collagen matrices of porcine origin. Therefore, this research aims to study the effectiveness of porcine collagen matrices as a substitute biomaterial for connective tissue grafts in root coverage. A literature review with a qualitative approach was prepared using the Scielo, Pubmed and academic google database resources. An advanced search was carried out for articles in Portuguese that met the following descriptors: “Biomaterial” and “Gingival Disease” and “Dental Support Structures” and the descriptors in English: “Biocompatible Materials” and “Gingival Diseases” and “Periodontium”. Considering that biomaterials have been widely studied due to their positive results in dental procedures in root coverage surgeries, it can be an efficient alternative, as it promotes a decrease in morbidity in tissue reconstruction procedures. From this review, it can be concluded that the use of grafts derived from the porcine dermis are very promising and important for the future of dentistry, for those who work in this area, it is significant to be able to present innovative alternatives that are capable of promoting patients' well-being, giving them the opportunity to opt for methods that are less invasive.
