Abstract : Coronally advanced flap (CAF) for treatment of gingival recession was first introduced by Norberg. Various modifications were introduced amongst these techniques but CAF is considered the gold standard in the treatment of gingival recession. Along with CAF various biomaterials have been used as alternatives for treatment of gingival recession. One of the new materials which have also been tried recently includes placental membranes. An amnion chorion membrane is a placenta-derived tissue that has been introduced as a guided tissue regeneration membrane in dentistry. Numerous growth factors, proteins and stem cell reserves in amnion could help in accelerated wound healing and regeneration. The placental membrane includes amnion and chorion which have shown encouraging results in various periodontal surgical procedures.
