Mucograft Collagen Matrix was designed to provide an off-the-shelf alternative to autologous grafts. Clinical data demonstrates that treatment with Mucograft can produce:
- results similar to autologous grafts when treating gingival recession defects and increasing keratinized tissue
- an increase in vestibular depth
- increased band or width of keratinized tissue around natural teeth and dental implants.
