Aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of placental membrane with coronally advanced flap in covering single and multiple Miller's class I and II gingival recession defects.
STUDY DESIGN A total number of 60 teeth in 15 subjects were selected. Patients with bilateral Miller's class I and II gingival recession defects in the maxillary or mandibular anterior and premolar region were selected and divided into two groups using a split mouth design. GroupI (Control) -30 recession defects treated with coronally advanced flap alone, using Zucchelli's technique. Group II (Test) - 30 recession defects treated with coronally advanced flap, using Zucchelli's technique along with placental membrane. . CLINICAL PARAMETERS: 1. Probing Pocket Depth(PPD) 2. Clinical Attachment Level(CAL) 3. Height of Gingival Recession(HGR) 4. Width of Gingival Recession(WGR) 5. Width of Keratinized Gingiva(WKG) The clinical parameters were assessed \& recorded on 0 day, 90th day and 180th day

recession coverage done using Zuchellis technique
recession coverage done using Zuchellis technique with placental membrane
Height of Gingival recession
The height of gingival recession was measured from the cemento-enamel junction to the gingival margin using Williams periodontal probe
Time frame: 6 months
Clinical attachment level
Clinical attachment level is measured as the distance between a fixed point on the crown such as cementoenamel junction to the base of the pocket using williams periodontal probe
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months
Width of Keratinized Gingiva
It is measured as the distance from the gingival margin to the mucogingival junction using williams periodontal probe
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months
