Brief Summary: Treatment of gingival recession is indicated mainly for esthetic reasons and keratinized tissue augmentation Zucchelli and Mounssif 2015 An array of surgical techniques has been proposed by the literature to cover gingival recession defects with well-documented successful outcomes The selection of one technique over the other depends on many factors Some of these factors are related to the gingival recession defect itself others are related to the anatomy of the palatal fibromucosa or related to the patient variabilities Zucchelli and De Sanctis 2000

Controversy exists in the literature regarding the patient morbidity after connective tissue graft harvesting Inconclusive postulations have been made about the post-operative patient morbidity outcomes and root coverage outcomes when comparing connective tissue graft harvesting in comparison to allograft membranes used for root coverage

The use of connective tissue graft in combination with root coverage techniques remain the gold standard for root coverage procedures The problem with the connective tissue graft is that harvesting a graft from the palate increases morbidity needs an extra surgical site which is more traumatic for the patient depends on the donor tissue which could be limited increases surgical chair-time and needs increased surgical skills Cortellini Pini Prato 2012

The rationale behind the use of amnion membrane is to avoid the morbidity inherent with connective tissue graft harvesting
