AlloDerm in Periodontal Procedures
Gum recession, whether from excessive brushing or periodontal disease, can reduce a person’s self-confidence about their smile and may leave them in pain. As gums recede, they also often expose more nerves and make every brush, bite, or drink a painful experience. Often, the tissue matrix AlloDerm is employed by oral surgeons to correct gum recession.
If AlloDerm was used in your periodontal surgery and you have suffered from additional pain and suffering that required further medical attention, a civil lawsuit may be appropriate. AlloDerm failure can prevent the proper healing of your surgical wounds. Accordingly, it may be responsible for the failure of a procedure to resolve your condition.

Gingival Recession
Gum, or gingival, recession is the loss of tissue that protects the roots of your teeth. Your gums are crucial to your dental health. Gingival recession can lead to the painful exposure of the roots of your teeth. Not only can this make eating and drinking extremely painful, but it can even be threatening to the life and stability of your teeth. Gum recession has two major causes:
- Excessive tooth brushing
- Gingival disease
Tissue grafting is one treatment option that is commonly used to correct gum recession. AlloDerm tissue matrices are often chosen by oral surgeons for this procedure, but if this product fails it can result in the need for further costly surgery.
