How Can Prefabricated Membranes Load Ascorbic Acid Can Curtail Gingival Recession?

Periodontal diseases are a prevalent issue, often leading to gingival recession, where the gingival margin recedes, exposing the tooth root and causing various problems. Gingival recession can be managed through both non-surgical and surgical interventions The non-surgical approach often involves plaque control and addressing any underlying inflammatory conditions. However, in cases of advanced recession, surgical treatment may be necessary Several treatment techniques have been proposed, which can be divided into pedicle and free grafts. The latter can also be classified as free gingival grafts (FGG) or as connective tissue grafts (CTG). Other treatment options include soft tissue substitutes or regenerative therapies Harvesting graft from the palate has several problems, such as pain, inflammation, bleeding, flap necrosis, and infection at the donor site. For this reason, we need a substitute for soft tissue graft harvesting Carbopol polymers, also known as carbomers, are widely utilized in pharmaceutical formulations for their excellent mucoadhesive properties. This high molecular weight, cross-linked acrylic acid polymers are particularly effective in enhancing the adhesion of formulations to mucosal surfaces, thereby improving drug delivery and bioavailability
