This case demonstrates a decade-long follow-up of the combined use of a collagen matrix and enamel matrix-derived proteins in coronally advanced flaps for soft tissue reconstruction to cover exposed roots. This follow-up will help clinicians choose biomaterials to replace autogenous connective tissue grafts, thereby reducing surgical time, pain, and postoperative discomfort for the patient, while avoiding adverse events such as excessive bleeding, analgesic consumption, and the risk of tissue necrosis in donor sites.
